    Book description

    Critical thinking (CT) is essential in education, the workplace, and everyday life, yet many struggle to understand or apply it effectively. This book breaks down the 'what, how, and when' of CT in a clear, accessible way, making it practical for readers from all walks of life. Drawing on over fifteen years of researching CT, Dwyer presents accessible evidence-based lessons and strategies for using CT in real-world situations, helping readers navigate the overwhelming flood of information we face daily. Written in an informal, engaging tone, this book makes CT approachable for anyone looking to improve their decision-making skills.

    Reviews

    Dwyer's book covers so much necessary information in such a compact format that one ends up thinking, ‘It really can't be that easy.' But it is. Dwyer goes right to the heart of the major issues involved in critical thinking, ranging into cognitive science, social psychology, the media, creativity, and more. It truly is a tour de force by an author who has thought long and hard about the knottiest problems in critical thinking.

    John Eigenauer - Professor of Philosophy, Taft College
