Introduction

Over the past few years , the phrase critical thinking has seen a significant uptick in frequency of use. This is due to the fact that modern society requires people who are capable of finding solutions to difficult problems and making judgments that have significance in numerous aspects of their lives. The ability to think critically is a skill that is necessary for everyone who wants to be successful in their academic life, in their professional life, or in their personal life. Individuals who are able to think critically are able to assess information, recognize assumptions that lie behind the surface, and weigh facts in order to arrive at well-informed conclusions. The ability to think critically is not innate; rather, it is a learned skill that may be developed via consistent practice and a dedication to the enhancement of one's mental capabilities. In light of the significance of critical thinking, a new field of study has emerged: critical thinking strives to gain an understanding of the cognitive processes that are the foundation of innovative problem solving, accurate information evaluation, and sound decision making. In this book, we will investigate critical thinking as a new science and analyze how it is used to solve issues, evaluate information, and make judgments in a variety of different industries and professions. In addition to this, it will emphasize the significance of critical thinking in our day-to-day lives and talk about the various methods by which we might improve our ability to think critically.

Therefore, critical thinking is an essential tool since it enables individuals to work to the best of their abilities and contributes to the resolution of the pressing problems that society is experiencing today.

Importance of critical thinking in problem solving

In the modern, complicated world, critical thinking is an essential skill that must be developed in order to effectively solve problems. In order to effectively solve a problem, it is not enough to simply identify potential solutions to the issue at hand; rather, one must also evaluate the efficacy of the solution that has been selected, as well as make use of skills in critical thinking in order to plan for and respond appropriately to a variety of potential outcomes that may occur during the process of putting the solution into action. Critical thinking is an organized approach to problem-solving, which involves taking into account all of the pertinent facts and assessing the pros and drawbacks of various possibilities before reaching a decision. It is of utmost significance in circumstances in which the repercussions of making the incorrect choice might have serious effects, such as in the
