About this audiobook
In this guide about critical thinking skills, the author starts out by explaining what critical thinking is, and where it came from. She then quickly proceeds to name some important critical thinking traits, such as inductive and deductive reasoning (some of the best-known ones), skepticism, and analytical skills.
So what are the uses of these skills? How do they contradict our emotions? And how can we become more intelligent human beings by applying them?
Rational thinking has become a more embraced concept, but if this is true, is there also room for intuition? These are some of the questions that will be answered here. The author will also show how biases and presumptions based on past experiences get in our way of attributing the right consequences to the right causes, and which arguments are valid in which kinds of circumstances.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/55 stars! Without a doubt the best thing that's happened to me this week. I appreciated it so much that I might listen to it again sometime. I literally did not notice something bad about this book. If I am wrong, then let me know. However, I found it to be nearly perfect, and that's what mattered to me.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is definitely a very good book. I acknowledged a lot of the important things the author was discussing. Some things went over my head, but that's regular for any book that has been written by a genius. This is the supreme combination of a terrific narrator and a terrific writer, who collaborated and decided to turn this book into a valuable item. Great for them.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It appears as if we are dealing with a professional here. The narrator's performance was to die for. I tuned in to this audiobook, and it was truly inspirational. I understand I'm not the best of customer review writers, but this is worthy of praise. The author and narrator have clearly put so much time and energy into these books.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I could most likely mention 30 things why I love this book, but my time is actually limited, so this review should not be extremely lengthy. The thoughts from the author made a lot of sense to me. I agreed with everything, and that's one more reason the reason why I am so thrilled about this audiobook. The writer did not arbitrarily choose little bits and pieces of bad advice, but rather, sorted out the statements enough. The thoughts from the author made sense to me. I agreed with all the things, and that's another reason why I am so fired up about this audiobook. The author didn't randomly pick little bits and pieces of wrong advice, but instead, figured out the claims enough.
