A Practical Guide to Critical Thinking Listener Reviews
-
" I always admired the critical thinking stuff and people who presented above average way of thinking, which we tend to call "critical". After you read this book you understand that we were not born to be critical because it is then investing in optimizing our lives. But we were not born to work optimally but to heuristically perform. Thus, we need to adopt practical advice how to inject, nurture and sustain a critical thinking way of life. I wish I could read this book when I was younger "
