You'll learn essential strategies for critical thinking that empower you to sift fact from fiction, recognize logical fallacies, and approach complex issues with intellectual honesty. The chapters about health, relationships, and education provide fresh perspectives that encourage honest curiosity and lifelong learning, helping you to live more thoughtfully and authentically.
