Critical Thinking: Decision Making With Smarter Intuition and Logic (How to Solve Big Problems and Drastically Improve Communication Skills)

There are many misconceptions about critical thinking, with some being that it means you are thinking hard or making sweeping judgements about people or situations.

Critical thinking is deeper than this, and it primarily is about a strategic way in which you can solve problems. It requires you to break a problem down into parts, evaluating each part until you arrive at a solution. The techniques that you need to become a critical thinker are vast, and in this book, the best techniques have been described. By learning how to ask questions and improve your logical thinking, it will be easier to be a successful critical thinker.

This book will cover the following areas and more:

·        Tools and strategies for developing reflective thinking skills
