Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Quick quiz: What's the difference between correlation and causation? If you're not 100% sure, you're not alone. Critical thinking is one of those skills we all assume we have-because we're reasonably intelligent people. But intelligence and clear thinking aren't the same thing. This book gives you the tools to evaluate claims, spot logical fallacies, recognize when someone is manipulating you, and think more clearly about everything from news headlines to sales pitches. You'll learn why smart people believe dumb things, how cognitive biases hijack your reasoning, and what it actually takes to change your mind-or someone else's-with evidence instead of volume. **CRITICAL THINKING: How to Spot BS and Think Clearly** covers: - **What Is Critical Thinking, Anyway?**- **Your Brain Is Lying to You**- **Logical Fallacies**- **Evidence and How to Evaluate It**- **Sources and Credibility**- **Numbers and Statistics**- **Emotional Manipulation**- **Scientific Thinking and How Science Really Works**- **Language and the Art of Persuasion**- **Memory: The Unreliable Narrator**- **The Internet's BS Factory**- **Arguing Better**- **Decision-Making Under Uncertainty**- **Everyday Applications**- **When Critical Thinking Isn't Enough** No jargon.
