Summary
Raise your hand if you've ever shopped online, made a financial decision, or pondered taking a job offer.
What do all these have in common? They all require critical thinking.
From deciding how to spend your money to where you want to work, critical thinking is essential for making choices that pay off.
Applying critical thinking empowers you to assess your situation and make beneficial choices.
It's also crucial for digital literacy. Instead of scrolling through your news feed stressed and confused, you can evaluate facts and arguments.
Inside Critical Thinking, discover why it's important, how it plays out in everyday life, and how it can enhance your decision-making and communication skills:
- Real-life examples and case studies that show critical thinking's practical value.
- Fundamentals of critical thinking and its distinctiveness from other thought processes.
- Skills to practice and pitfalls to avoid, such as biases and fallacies.
- Balancing emotions with logic to develop emotional intelligence.
- How to apply critical thinking in problem-solving, decision-making, and communication.
Critical thinking can improve every part of your life.
With critical thinking, you have the tools to take power away from problems and give it back to yourself. It's more about handling situations than the issues themselves.
Critical thinking doesn't rely on talent or natural ability. Even if you doubt your communication and decision-making skills, critical thinking levels the playing field. Anyone can do it, and it's never too late to start!
If you're ready to tackle problems more easily, think more clearly, and make better choices, don't wait to pick up a copy of Critical Thinking.

Excellent Resource for Reframing
I really liked the way that this book was organized over all and the topic said it addressed. I have studied this topic in the past and thought that I might not learn anything new, however I was wrong. There were some great new tips for me about reframing and getting the right information. I highly recommend it and think the only thing that could be done to improve it was a little bit more energy from the narrator.

A building block approach to CT learning
Although I had some background and reference with critical thinking, I learned a lot from the way the author developed the book. Starting at the basics, the author builds the information all the way through problem solving, both at a personal level and in a company or business setting. After completion of the audiobook, I feel comfortable enough with the subject where I could identify a situation when critical thinking would be appropriate.
One of my favorite parts of the book was when the author emphasized the need for proper evaluation with a situation before developing the critical thinking solution. So many times, do we just jump in and try to solve something without really understanding the problem. This book would be great for any supervisor who has employees assigned to them.
