Why read it?
1 author picked Thought and Knowledge as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a go-to for me because it presents problem-solving and decision-making as a dynamic mental process of testing hypotheses and making predictive judgements.
When I was transitioning from a leadership position to building a consulting practice, I viewed critical thinking as understanding the rules of logic and the ability to analyze arguments. This book expanded my perspective to see how critical thinking also involves memory, language processing, imagination, and self-concept.
Regarding my self-concept, I found Halpernâs recommendation that we approach problem-solving as âintuitive scientistsâ very useful. Seeing myself as an intuitive scientist helps me approach problems and decisionsâŚ
From Haywood's list on critical thinking books for the intellectually curious.
