Critical Thinking Junkie ― How to Develop Critical Thinking

From the Desk of the How-To Junkie for the "Critical Thinking Junkie":

Howdy friend, who wants "to develop critical thinking,"

In the old days where famous Greek philosophers - like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle - would conglomerate in the public square Agora of Athens, people from all over would gather around to listen attentively to their enlightening thoughts.

Why would people put their fate and trust in the credibility of these great orators' words? That's because they all had exceptional critical thinking abilities - to be able to decipher fact from fiction, to understand true from false, and derive at insightful conclusions.

"But wait! Why should I care? I have zero interest in being a philosopher" you say?

Well, think about it for a second...

Critical thinking is a skill you can use and have to improve your day-to-day function and productivity by allowing you to think sharply and clearly to easily solve problems and make better decisions within your life.
