Description

Critical thinking is one of the key competencies of the future person. The ability to question and analyze any information is an excellent way to protect yourself from deception and manipulation. Tom Chatfield urges you to analyze everything, everywhere: at work, in school, and in everyday life—and offers practical recommendations on how to do it. The author lists the signs by which you can recognize falsehood and distinguish real arguments from fake ones. He introduces deduction, induction, and abduction, helps develop behavioral and thinking strategies, and explains the enormous possibilities of language and rhetoric.

The book is written with a great sense of humor; it contains many vivid examples and descriptions of a wide range of phenomena, paradoxes, and traps. It will be useful for anyone who doesn’t want to be fooled by pseudo-science, statistics, or convincingly beautiful words.
