Summary

Learn how to think smarter and use critical thinking to your advantage. Intelligence is not just something you have or don't have. It can be practiced. You can become more intelligent if you want to. People who think more logically, don't follow the masses or the trends, but they think for themselves, comparing all kinds of criteria and connotations to each other, while assessing the validity and conclusions of those data. Being able to make up your own mind, not just based on emotions, but rather on clear connections and consequences, is a highly valuable skill in this society.

Learn more about:

  • What critical thinking is, how it is defined, and how it applies today.
  • How all of this applies to science and history.
  • Where philosophy and logical thinking skills came from.
  • Why being skeptical can actually help you.
  • How to choose for good things in life by assessing their value.
  • Reasons why you need to overcome egocentrism, emotional submission, and other tendencies we have as humans.
  • How to question things without being a smarty pants about it.

This book is great anyone who wishes to learn when to apply skepticism, emotions, and intelligent logic.

Critical thinking matters

I was sincerely delighted by this amazing book. Yes, it sounds a little quirky when putting it that way, but the book made an impact on the way I look at things. So many people nowadays jump to conclusions, and it doesn't actually testify of their intelligence or the use of their brain they could be implementing.

This book, however short, shed more light on the basis of critical thinking, which is an actual skill, by the way. And it made me see the bigger picture of how to reason and to look at things from different perspectives. Every person should know more about this.

Little content delivered like a new age yoga session.

IMHO the narrator was the wrong choice of voice (wispy and airy) for this subject. It came across as some sort of relaxation therapy instead of a serious discussion on such an important topic.
Unfortunately the content was also superfluous and rarely provided any practical support on how to adopt a better thinking process.

Too short and too vague

Didn't realise this book was so short and wasted an Audible credit on it. Having listened to it twice, I didn't learn anything that I felt I could put in to practice ether.
