Gives You Critical Thought

A great book from the author. Listening to this certainly gave me pause for thought and made me reflect and update my mindset. Well worth forking out for.

Awesome one

The greatest idea is to be certain of the clarity-are you clear what the goal is, have you inspected and define terms, what is or are the assumptions, and what experience, observations and facts do you have. and finally, is there a need-if you haven't obtain your goals is because is a want but is not a need or necessity.

Thinking Smarter already

The book is full of insightful stories, practical applications, and everyday exercises that you can use to make faster, smarter, more confident decisions. I found it very insightful and useful.

Think Smarter - and get this book!

This book was very easy to read and did make a lot of sense. I wish this book was required reading for freshmen in high school. I was able to skim through the book and still pick up important pieces of information. I will be going back to read it more carefully. I like his writing style, not prosy or verbose.

Great one

Think Smarter is one of several books exploring the world of structured thinking and problem-solving. Both are critical in a world where we are asked to make multiple complex decisions every day and many times without really knowing it. Kallet's book provides useful tools as well as processes to help clear the clutter and recognize issues and options.

Inspirational

A good quick study of philosophy at its best. Anyone looking for a good crash course should listen to this book. I'll keep it at the top of my reference section.

Learn to think for yourself

Good. But not excellent. Started well. Then branched off into other fields. Critical thinking is something that is to be trained.

Very good

Excellent book and very timely in an era of fake news and biased media pushing their agendas rather than reporting g the facts.

Most recommended

Clear concepts and easy to follow. I think the book explores concepts needed in today world. It was a well-researched book. I will not hesitate to recommend it to my friends.

Great for self-improvement

As with all of Ian’s books, he has packed in a lot of information BUT translates it in a way that is very similar to conversational dialogue, making it easy to understand & read. This is an important book for anyone ready and willing to make a change within themselves

Very ( critical) thought provoking.

I enjoyed the book. several times I found myself recognising that I have fallen for stories that do not add up and I will be careful in the future. Much of this is common sense but sadly, common sense is not necessarily commonplace. I think I will re visit the book in a month or so to check on how I am doing.

Strongly recommend

The world would be a better and more stable place if people knew this information

An outstanding audiobook

There's a huge amount of very valuable information in this audiobook. It's well read and easy to follow. I'm buying the paperback too because there were so many gems that I want to reference in future.

The book is very well-researched

The book is very well-researched. Ian has made it easy to follow his thinking—despite the cerebral topic. He exposes many of the operating systems set up to trap us into making extremely bad decisions. Ian does his best to explain those traps while at the same time he encourages us to examine our own biases and faulty thinking. What better time in our chaotic world to have such a helpful guide. Great book!

I like the book

This book is light, easy to finish but also it’s important in our current era, when we find many influences on our decisions ... I like the way of chapters are be presented in the book which covered most influences on our decisions in an easy way .. I advise this book thanks to the writer
