After i was exposed to critical thinking in high school and university, i learned to recognize problematic arguments, whether they be a straw man, an appeal to authority, or an ad hominem attack. Look no further than critical reasoning for beginners, the top rated itunesu collection of lectures led by oxford university’s marianne builds the course from the ground up, and begins by explaining that arguments consist of a set of premises that, logically linked together, lead to a conclusion. If you haven’t had the chance to be exposed to a class on critical thought, i can’t recommend critical reasoning for beginners with enough enthusiasm: there are few mental skills that are as underappreciated, and as central to our daily lives, as critical al reasoning for beginners is currently available on the university of oxford website in both audio and video formats, and also on itunesu and youtube.

These are questions that all critical thinkers of any age must constantly ask is no more important skill in today's world than being able to think about, understand, and act on information in a way that is both effective and responsible.

Critical thinking transforms you from a passive member of society into an active participant in the ideas and issues of the day. So it's more important than ever before to become a better critical thinker—someone who can analyze and construct arguments and arrive at more sound, more informed opinions. And the key to success lies inunderstanding the neuroscience behind how our thinking works—and goes wrong;mastering the fundamental skills behind logic, reasoning, and argumentation;avoiding common pitfalls and errors in thinking, such as logical fallacies and biases; andknowing how to distinguish good science from this and more you can find in the 24 rewarding lectures of your deceptive mind: a scientific guide to critical thinking skills. Steven novella of the yale school of medicine—an academic neurologist, award-winning instructor, and public educator—equips you with the knowledge and techniques you need to become a savvier, sharper critical thinker in your professional and personal life. By immersing yourself in the science of cognitive biases and critical thinking, and by learning how to think about thinking (a practice known as metacognition), you'll gain concrete lessons for doing so more critically, more intelligently, and more successfully than ever e the inner workings of critical thinkingour brains, according to dr. But they can also be the source of many weaknesses and impairments in critical thought. In your deceptive mind, you'll take a closer look at the neuroscientific details of critical thinking and how the (often unfamiliar) ways in which our brains are hardwired can distract and prevent us from getting to the truth of a particular matter:the neuroscience of critical thinking: approach the act of thinking not as some abstract concept but as an action rooted deep within your brain. Novella takes you deep inside this powerful organ to examine how you form beliefs, perceive your surroundings, and remember and problems in critical thinking: the key to success as a critical thinker lies in understanding the range of biases and problems that can stand in the way of reason and truth. You'll encounter—and learn how to deftly sidestep—fallacies such as retrofitting of evidence, collective wish fulfillment, reliance on "factoids,” and ad hominem e and pseudoscience: knowing how to separate science (the foundation of critical thought) from pseudoscience is of the utmost importance to any well-rounded critical thinker. Here, you'll investigate common examples of pseudoscience that surround us every day—from the denial of established evidence to the belief in grand the way, you'll sample a range of illuminating case studies, experiments, and observations from nutrition, science, technology, mass culture, and even politics; all of which vividly illustrate the core components of (and threats to) responsible critical thinking.

In addition to being a master teacher, he is an expert on critical thinking and its intersection with science. President and cofounder of the new england skeptical society and the host of its award-winning show, the skeptic's guide to the universe, professor novella has dedicated himself to increasing the public's ability to use critical thinking skills to better navigate the mass of information (and misinformation) in today's highly mediated the world is only going to get more and more saturated with information.

I wish that this was a mandatory class when i was in school so i had the opportunity to learn & develop my own critical thinking skills early on. I found it an easy read and a great topic of thinking and course is very well done... Worth sticking it out to the end, despite the *profoundly* arrogant excellent overview of the issues raised by the need for critical thinking, the types of cognitive biases involved in decision making, and a set of tools for making better judgments. Of another was a book on skepticism presented as a book on logic and critical thinking.

It does present some of those ideas along the way (though, having taken a class on logic in college, there was nothing new here for me), but the examples presented are without fail based on trying to debunk fringe ideas, rather than showing you ways in which logic and critical thinking can help you in day to day situations. In part, this is likely because these topics make for easy targets, the lecturer also didn' was a book on skepticism presented as a book on logic and critical thinking. Really enjoyed this series of lectures which came in an audiobook format and so i'll refer to them as a book for the sake of brevity in this review. Ve been trying to be more logical and critical for many years now and this summed up a lot of the things i've learned over the years on the topic. Some areas did feel a bit too detailed, but i can understand the need for them since i suspect many people will need more convincing than i the note of trying to convince people, this is a book about trying to convince you to be a more critical thinker and essentially acknowledge that you, as a human being, are very flawed on a mental level. However, i believe that more people should read this book on the basis that the more critical thinkers there are, the better the world in general will become. I am a bit worried about this book not being clear enough on how useful this approach to thinking is for daily life. The book uses more well known and relatively easy examples that make it clear on how to apply the different critical thinking concepts. However, for people who aren't used to this type of thinking, it might be impossible to see the myriad of ways we're exposed to the more nuanced and less impactful examples that occur in our everyday lives. Overall, i still think this is a very worthwhile read for everyone, regardless of their existing notions of their abilities to think critically or belief that this type of thinking is unnecessary.

There is a mental hurdle to overcome in that this type of thinking does require long term practice, but i think the benefits of this type of thinking will greatly benefit the people who use y is constantly constructed and updated in our brain (which is reptilian brain inside mammal brain inside primate brain inside human brain). Critical thinking (aka scientific skepticism) is a way for us to minimize the impact of human's brain limitations on forming beliefs about the world. Critical thinking in everyday life: how sound,valid arguments not only help us convince others but also reach a good conclusion in the process of thinking?

I was just thinking, how will i even remember any of then later on you get use to the style and the content. Well, i agree for most part, the author has gone to great lengths to show us how our mind are susceptible and our thinking flawed in most situations!

If you'd care to notice, everything that matters to a layman, at least me, be it religious/spiritual beliefs, sensory perception "seeing is believing" types of beliefs, infallibility of our memories, our preferences, judgement, our notions of good, evil, morality, every aspect of our daily thinking is after all a carefully crafted deception of our mind. But i felt let down anticipating some "guidance" and techniques for critical thinking; the book does not really provide any structured way to go about developing ones' critical thinking, but the author does implore the audience to weigh matters carefully by critical thinking thereby strengthening the critical thinking faculty. Would not like to take away the fact that you will however realize the tips the author provides, albeit broad level, guidance on how to deal with specific situations by using scientific enquiry with healthy lecture series from the great courses is a fantastic course for anyone that is interested in improving their critical thinking and reasoning skills. I found that the subject of lecture series from the great courses is a fantastic course for anyone that is interested in improving their critical thinking and reasoning skills. I found that the subject of critical thinking was examined from every angle and it allowed me to hone the tools in my skeptic's toolbox.

Similar to a complaint in another review i skimmed, it would be nice to have more real life examples of how to apply the critical thinking skills explored in this lecture series. Yet, all of us humans have a problem: we have an imperfect and deeply flawed brain, which would often lead us to very flawed thinking. 16:stories of scientific mistakes showing how initial skepticism is best although not often usedlecture 17: science vs pseudo sciencefeatures of pseudo science * works backward, we want to get there, so we start with the conclusion and work backward * they look for evidence that will help their caselecture 18: the many currents of pseudo sciencestories of pseudo science * iridology * ghost hunting * free energylecture 19: the trap of grand conspiraciesit’s easy to get trapped in one of those conspiracy theories (jfk, 9/11 inside job)it’s easy because we love to see patterns, conspiracies are the same, we need a reason, a pattern to explain you can't assume the theory is true and then find evidence (like pseudo science)you need to hypothesize the theory and then scientifically investigate thelecture 20: denialismanother example of pseudo scientific thinkingit's hard to challenge your own ideas and use critical thinking, it’s easy when we do it on otherslecture 21: marketing spams and urban legendspay attention to what you read, many stories surf over the internet which are misleadingclaim: mcdonalds burger doesn’t rot if left over days because it is artificial answer: try putting a normal beef patty next a mcdonalds one, both will rot, a feature of beefclaim: kidney thiefs at hotels answer: why just kidneys and why not kidnap the person and not leave evidencemore claims and answers in the lecture (gaza wedding, artificial sweetener causing cancer)in general: 1) check sources!

Was super-excited about this book as the modern guide on critical thinking, just to find out it's all the work everybody else has already done. Frankly, if people that highly trained (pilots, astronauts, faa officials and technicians, some of whom actually observed radar hits of unknown origins during pilot/astronaut sightings being reported to them) are that weak in understanding reality, why should anybody believe steven novella has any deeper understanding of anything at all, including neurology or critical thinking? If he is truly objective in his thinking, he will also realize his understandings are loaded with biases and subjectivity, just as yours and mine are. Critical thinking should and must, really, also apply to the conclusions of critical thinkers, as he himself states. Do a little radio show in which critical thinking pops up a lot, but unlike the hardcore skeptic, we entertain ideas and try to run them through the critical-thinking tests to see if they can remain standing, and so much absolutely cannot be discounted. Finally, don't be confused into thinking that an als specialist in neurosurgery has, by default, expertise in understanding perceptive errors; they do not. They have no more claim of expertise in critical thinking than a philosophy professor or biologist or chemist, and as a result of being rather heavily involved in the skeptic community, i think his natural response to anything that doesn't have a valid, peer-reviewed paper in an esteemed scientific journal is, "that's not real. You have read kahneman's thinking fast and slow, you should get this course your deceptive mind. Novella explores how fallacies and cognitive biases can be understood and addressed, but also explains some goals and objectives you can apply to everyday critical thinking challenges.

Novella's biggest contribution though is to some aesthetics of critical thinking that can be applied to writing and learning, especially self-directed learning. Novella opened my mind to the importance of science you have read kahneman's thinking fast and slow, you should get this course your deceptive mind. Novella opened my mind to the importance of science as a process rather than a product, i gained a healthier appreciation for the principles of critical thinking in science and what makes some science better science than other science. These lectures as an addition to other lectures on critical thinking and argumentation will be added to my (imagined) list of books and lessons i wish i had learned before going to college. As another reviewer put it, this was less about logic and critical thinking than it was about debunking fringe ideas. Perhaps he's never considered that his sceptical, critical, logical self could get of this was good, although at times it seemed like the author had an axe to grind against his pet world-view peeves. Perhaps he's never considered that his sceptical, critical, logical self could get swept up in such a thing? Picked up this book expecting an actual guide for critical thinking that i could apply to my life as a health care practitioner; and as much as i enjoyed the points presented on this book and several aspects that the author presents, it lacked in the guide department as the book was more aimed towards showing the audience what oftentimes keeps us from critical thinking. And other times, i felt like the author was trying to impose his ideas regarding certain areas, instead of motivating the readers to engage in critical thinking and arrive to conclusions themselves.
