FINALIST ERIC HOFFER BOOK AWARD This book has only ONE objective: to make you more SUCCESSFUL in life. How? By teaching you a skill that is one of the most powerful success enablers: Critical Thinking. The book offers a practical, results driven, and easy to follow path to becoming an expert critical thinker. The powerful combination of practical teachings, real-world case examples, and real-life practice exercises creates a launch pad for achieving more success and better life outcomes. This book is for those who want to be more successful in life. Particular focus has been given to high practicality, easy implementation, and fast improvements. Don't wait any longer. Start your journey to becoming a black belt critical thinker and a successful problem solver now. Critical Thinking is in marked decline in modern society. Feel-good approaches such as positive thinking have taken over. As a consequence, more and more important decisions are made without rigorous analyses or thoughtful reflection. Not surprisingly, many people, teams, and organizations fail to reach their goals and remain far below their true success potential. This book seeks to end this misery of disappointed expectations, unsatisfying underachievement, and frustrating failures by teaching step-by-step the powerful concepts and tools of critical thinking. Real-world examples taken from business, finance, sports, and daily life serve as illustrations. Practice exercises are included at the end of each chapter. From martial arts, the author adopted the concept of different colored belts to mark the progress in learning. The focus of this book is on the foundation of Critical Thinking (i.e., white belt to brown belt lessons). A preview of the black belt classes of Critical Thinking (the subject of the next book) is included at the end.
