"This engaging book offers a punchy introduction to critical thinking. Conversational and light, yet rigorous and grounded in academic literature, it looks at the habits and practices that are fundamental to clear thinking and effective study. Viewing critical thinking as a skill to be continually practiced and developed, this book provides a foundation from which you can build your understanding and confidence. In his characteristic warm style, Tom Chatfield demonstrates how to identify and examine your biases, challenge your assumptions and take less for granted, engage in lively, curious skepticism, see the value in emotion and use rhetoric persuasively, know when to say 'I don't know', construct reasoned arguments and explanations, and establish a critically-engaged relationship with technology. Prizing both self-reflection and collaboration, this book empowers you to pause, think twice - and, above all, think well"-- Provided by publisher.
