Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In a world of alt facts, imperfect algorithms and information overload, the ability to think clearly has never been more crucial. But it's not easy. Critical thinking asks us to slow down and reflect; to question assumptions; to be aware of blind spots. It takes time β€” which can be tough to find when we're distracted or under pressure.

How to Think Clearly is a practical primer for developing the habits that underpin critical thinking. In life or at work, whether weighing up options or choosing what to believe, it offers a toolkit to turn these skills into daily practice. From powerful pauses and killer questions to being data smart, it will help you think twice β€” and think better.
