By: Alex Houston

Narrated by: Rae Lang

Length: 20 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

Six books in one.

Critical thinking can be defined as "finding out how to think better by enhancing one's thinking skills". People who are critical thinkers use the thinking procedure to evaluate, consider, reflect on, and piece together what they have learned or are currently learning. Unfortunately, much of everybody's thinking tends to be prejudiced, imprecise, uncertain, uninformed, or even sexist or racist. Since this ends up being significantly limiting, critical thinking is needed to improve its quality and value. 

Book one: In this guide, you will see that you will get that chance.

Topics such as the following will be discussed:

• The true meaning and definition of critical thinking
• The main benefits (something you need to know to see the importance of it)
• What critical thinking traits include
• A brief historical overview of how this theory came to existence
• Intuition and its role in making such decisions
• Biases and contexts that require some heavy problem-solving skills
• How people use justifications and various arguments to back up their statements

Book two: In this book, a wealth of information awaits you, including those important job skills of critical thinkers. Several ones will be highlighted that are specifically designed for certain positions. Hard skills, soft skills, and other critical thinking skills will be addressed. Last but not least, you will be enlightened with more insights into relevant reasoning, predispositions, and biases, the meaning of language and words that shape our thinking, and various other smaller topics.

Book three: Special attention in this book is given to emotional maturity and intelligence. Their meaning, importance, and the methods to develop those qualities are highlighted elaborately. In the end, another chapter is all about moral character, how people develop it, what it does, etc.

Book four: Logical thinking is something everyone tries, but only some succeed. Do you think logically? You may be surprised by the answer.

Topics include:

• How people fall into certain patterns of reasoning a certain way
• How rationality and emotions can contradict each other, but don’t always do so
• Myths, truths, and logic related to stoicism
• All the different aspects of logical reasoning you should know about
• How people often deceive themselves and distort their moral compass

Book five: Fallacies are everywhere. Basically, people of so many different cultures, backgrounds, and upbringings reach the wrong conclusions because the way they reason is false. It makes sense. Life is complex. We all make mistakes. We all contribute certain consequences to the wrong causes, and we base our opinion on a myriad of assumptions, which are based on previous experiences.

Book six: In this comprehensive guide, your cognitive abilities will be put to the test. Deep thinking will be your companion as you study the topics explained and outlined in here.

For example, these topics are yours to comprehend once you go through the content:

• Historical anecdotes of the concept of critical thinking
• Objectivity, its usefulness and applications
• Theoretical thoughts about the opposite: The clutches of subjectivity
• What skepticism can do: the pros, the cons, and the conditions that apply

I do not think you will have to keep looking....

I do not think you will have to keep looking. This audiobook explains all of it. I don't think you need to keep looking. This book says everything. The storyteller's voice was simply calming. Did I already mention that it appeared to be really professional? It did. Without a doubt, and that's exactly why I loved listening to it a lot.

Amazingly good. That's what I think.

Amazingly good. That's what I think. I wanted to say a thing about this book, and so I am actually taking the time to write a customer review. I managed to comprehend every thing plainly, not even if the storyteller pronounced the words properly, but also because the info in it contained new things to be learned.

I was truly inspired by this audiobook.

I was truly inspired by this audiobook. I 'd like every person to understand that I recommend this audiobook. I guess the first number of sections were my favorite ones, since the entire principle that the subtitle talks about, gets explained. All the fundamentals are here. Later in the book, more depth gets added, and I believe this is what makes it so great.

I have absolutely no criticisms about this....

I have absolutely no criticisms about this particular audiobook. I wish I was really great at publishing reviews, but you'll just need to be satisfied with this mediocre suggestion, namely, that the audiobook was fascinating all the way through, until the very end. This was well worth my time. Lastly, a book which gave me what I expected. Another point: The storyteller sounded so good that I would undoubtedly listen to it again. And maybe more than just one time. I can't recall every single thing that's being stated in all these audio books, so it would be worth reminding me of what was actually being said.

Hi there, I only wanted to write a couple...

Hi there, I only wanted to write a couple of phrases of recommendation. I am giving this book 5 stars simply because I genuinely loved it. It might actually have had a couple of errors, but they did not subtract anything from the remarkable information that this specific book contains. You can learn a whole lot. I definitely know that I did.

Nice...

I thought this was a nice collection of books. Hence my comment here. Critical thinking is important, and this is a great bundle about it.

If ever you're shopping for a book on this...

It is basic: If you understand this book, you will certainly find out more about the idea. The title of this book matches the material, so there is no question about how legitimate this book is. So, here you have it.

This manual ought to get a big, fat 5-star...

This manual ought to get a big, fat 5-star rating. I absolutely LOVED this audio book! No joke! I don't always enjoy all audiobooks, but this one caught the eye. And since it did, I began paying attention to it. It was some of the best time I spent, especially since I was doing some other tasks in the meantime.

Whenever you're fired up about anything...

Whenever you're fired up about anything, you usually tell others about it. So, that's what I'm doing too. I recognized a lot of the important things the writer was talking about. Some things went over my head, but that's regular for any book that has actually been composed by a genius. I don't think the word "awesome" does this particular book justice. There needs to be a much better word, and I will keep looking, since it deserves something great to be said about it.

Simply listening in my truck, I appreciated...

Simply listening in my truck, I appreciated this particular guide. Not bad in any way. I feel it's one of the very best audiobooks on the market place. The ideas from the author made sense to me. I agreed with all the things, and that's one more reason I am so excited about this audiobook. The writer did not arbitrarily select bits and pieces of wrong advice, but instead, figured out the claims enough.
