About this audiobook

This fresh and exciting approach to science, skepticism, and critical thinking will enlighten and inspire listeners of all ages. With a mix of wit and wisdom, it challenges everyone to think like a scientist, embrace the skeptical life, and improve their critical thinking skills.

Think shows you how to better navigate through the maze of biases and traps that are standard features of every human brain. These innate pitfalls threaten to trick us into seeing, hearing, thinking, remembering, and believing things that are not real or true. Guy Harrison's straightforward text will help you trim away the nonsense, deflect bad ideas, and keep both feet firmly planted in reality.

With an upbeat and friendly tone, Harrison shows how it's in everyone's best interest to question everything. He brands skepticism as a constructive and optimistic attitude-a way of life that anyone can embrace. An antidote to nonsense and delusion, this accessible guide to critical thinking is the perfect book for anyone seeking a jolt of inspiration.

    It is an awesome, well-written book. It must must read for everyone in my opinion. It’s foundation of any brain activity. Even I think it’s better to be teaching these kind of stuff in any school. Good job and keep doing what are you doing Mr. Harrison

    Not a bad introduction to critical thinking, but something didn't totally work for me. The concepts are sound, though I do think he leans in a bit too much toward biological determinism, but that isn't a core part of the book. He covers several tenets of critical thinking, but it seems somewhat superficial; this is intended to be accessible to lay readers but he needs to give his readers more credit and delve a little deeper. There are a number of parts that I would like to assign for my students to read, because he explains in accessible language what they struggle to understand. Recommended, but only as a beginning.

    I'm not sure what this book is for. It starts out promisingly enough, outlining the need and benefits of a rational mind. It then skims a few areas of irrational thought before descending into a self-help manual for looking after your brain.
