Book Description

What skill can be more important than your college degree? According to 93% of CEOs, THIS skill, which also keeps self-doubt, wrong decisions, and beliefs at bay. We're talking about a basic skill that isn't so basic - critical thinking. Everyone thinks they have it, but most people are anxious, unhappy, doubt their decisions, and aren't where they want to be in life. Why do people smoke, drink to excess, and eat things they know are bad for them? How come intelligent people wind up believing fake news stories? Why do employers judge candidates on the first impression they make, even though they know it's wrong and often misleading? Poor reasoning, inability to tell facts from fiction, and flawed decision-making cause these kinds of fallacies. A Nature.com study in 2015, "First results from psychology's largest reproducibility test," examined over 100 psychology studies to see if they could be reproduced. Researchers found that only a third of the studies could be replicated. The other two-thirds had been skewed by errors or unconscious biases and couldn't be trusted. One of the reasons most of us fall short in thinking critically is that our educational system doesn't teach critical thinking. They're the reason most people never live up to their potential. So, if you feel like you don't have the right diploma or the right skill set to succeed at what you do, don't worry. You might be stunned by how many false biases you're already carrying around. They bleed into your professional and personal life. That's why we've put together the needed resources to introduce you to what critical thinking is about, to build the habit of thinking critically, and to discern fact from fiction easily. This book bundle includes: Critical Thinking In A Nutshell: How To Become An Independent Thinker And Make Intelligent Decisions Conquer Logical Fallacies: 28 Nuggets Of Knowledge To Nurture Your Reasoning Skills The Habit Of Critical Thinking: Powerful Routines To Change Your Mind And Sharpen Your Thinking Here's just a fraction of what you'll discover inside: The critical thinking framework developed by two of the most experienced critical thinking scientists of all time and how to make it your own The 8 critical thinking characteristics you already have, but you're not using at their full potential How to identify fake news and misinformation - learn this, and you'll have a MASSIVE leg up on almost everyone around you right now Why you should be skeptical of anyone quoting an authority figure How to make yourself "dumb" because smarter people are HARDER to teach 6 rules to turn your current routines into wholesome habits How to think like a scientist and make your decisions successful experiments Actionable, easy exercises to drill home every point covered.

Book Description

Did you know that 93% of CEOs agree that THIS skill is MORE IMPORTANT than your college degree? Amazon's market cap is 1.7 TRILLION dollars. And it all started when Jeff Bezos used this skill to see a market inefficiency back in the day, before anyone else. During the 1980s "Coke Wars," Coca-Cola and Pepsi went back and forth competing to be America's top soda. But Coca-Cola didn't use this skill at the right time... And their mistake almost completely blew up one of America's oldest and most valuable companies. Having this skill in your back pocket is like shortcutting Malcom Gladwell's 10,000 hours rule to learning something (who's got time for that?). So, what is it? Nothing complex or fancy. But it's the skill Supreme Court justices have in spades (they're the highest legal authority in our country because they can do this thing). It's critical thinking. That's why Thinknetic has finally released Critical Thinking in a Nutshell: How to Become An Independent Thinker And Make Intelligent Decisions. Critical thinking is one of those skills everyone "thinks" that they already have... But most people are anxious, unhappy, doubt their decisions, and aren't where they want to be in life. Sometimes, basic skills aren't so basic. But it's not your fault. Our educational system doesn't teach critical thinking. You can only learn it from the right kind of experiences - and most people never do. In 2011, a study called "It Takes More Than a Major: Employer Priorities for College Learning and Student Success" found that 93% of business leaders agreed "a demonstrated capacity to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems is more important than [a candidate's] undergraduate major." So, if you feel like you don't have the right diploma or the right skill set to succeed at what you do, don't worry. But if you thought your degree would get you everything you've wanted out of life, you're going to be disappointed. After all, critical thinking has driven countless major innovations in human history. Remember when people thought the Earth was flat? It took a critical thinker to disprove that. The ancient Chinese general Sun Tzu said, "know your opponent and know yourself; in a hundred battles, you will never be in peril." You (probably) won't be leading an army into war, but the ability to think clearly will help you keep confident no matter what life throws at you. Here's just a fraction of what you'll discover inside: The critical thinking framework developed by two of the most experienced critical thinking scientists of all time - and how to make it your own The reason VHS became a household name and Betamax became a household joke (Ever heard of Betamax? No? There's a reason for that) How to shortcut the famous Malcom Gladwell "10,000 Hours Rule" to become an expert critical thinker, fast The 7 qualities of a critical thinker - how many do you have right now? What a WW2 pilot and the people of Romania can teach you about critical thinking - this is the KEY to not making huge mistakes How to identify fake news and misinformation - learn this, and you'll have a MASSIVE leg up on almost everyone around you right now How Coca-Cola committed one of the biggest marketing flops of all time, by failing to think critically Actionable, easy exercises to drill home every point covered in the novel. You won't "read and forget" this book ...and much, much more!

Book Description

Lifestyle Habits that "Carry" You to Increased Productivity, Better Health, and Career Superstardom? Yes, please! How many times have you tried to change your habits? If you're like most people, more than you care to think about. And how different is your life now? It's not your fau To build new positive habits, you'll have to "hotwire" your brain. Building new thinking habits is particularly difficult, especially because our society doesn't prioritize learning thinking habits. A 2016 study "Does College Teach Critical Thinking? A Meta-Analysis" featured in the Review of Educational Research found that even a college education doesn't necessarily set you up for long-term critical thinking ability. But building positive habits and thinking critically are lifelong skills that can supercharge your personal and professional life. Your goals are achievable. All it takes is a change of mindset from a passive reacting brain to an active thinking one. The rest will follow... for you have the right tools to enhance your thinking in a stimulating and lasting manner. Here's a sampling of what you'll learn and how they relate to critical thinking: The 8 critical thinking characteristics you already have but you're not using at their full potential How to use the critical thinking process that helped Galileo discover the Earth orbits the Sun What a reality game like SIMS can teach you about yourself, without even playing it How to think like a scientist and make your decisions successful experiments 6 rules to turn your current routines into wholesome habits The 4 steps to take when planning your vacation as well as your next best decision (no more disastrous experiences and regretful decisions!) Dozens of effective exercises to update your brain and upgrade your thinking How paying attention to your diet can enhance your critical thinking And much, much, more. Everyone thinks they can think critically and thinks they can establish habits. But somehow, most people aren't where they want to be in life... "Just trying harder" is a poor strategy. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. So if you've had trouble creating positive new habits in the past, you'll have trouble moving forward. Unless... You try something new. Critical thinking habits will elevate your personal and professional life. You'll be better at assimilating information, noticing trends, and deciding on a plan of action. This will be the last book you need to buy on thinking logically and building habits. If you want to create lifelong positive thinking habits, then click "Add to Cart" NOW!

If you keep making mistakes and just can't seem to reach that next level... Then keep reading Did you know that if you didn't listen to Mozart as a child, you might be 8-10 IQ points dumber than you were supposed to be? Okay, not really. But during the 1990s, a generation of children was forced by their parents to listen to Mozart...Because a study found it made children smarter. However, study after study couldn't replicate those results later. Eventually, researchers concluded that listening to ANYTHING while working resulted in higher intelligence testing. How come did the idea become established as fact? Because people fail to think critically. When your team, your boss, or your company depends on you to make the correct decision time and time again... you literally can't afford to be wrong. It could cost a client money. It could cost your company that client. It could cost you your job. The good news is you have the key to fix your problems. It's a skill you just need to get better at using it. That's why we wrote The Critical Thinking Effect, to take you from good to great. It's packed with examples, exercises, and actionable steps to get you thinking clearer - today. Here's just a smattering of what you'll find inside: How to "ethically brainwash" your subordinates - see how a manager employed critical thinking to get his team to do a COMPLETE 180, on a project they SWORE they'd never work on! How to spot lies, sift through deceptions, and have the confidence to know you've made the best decision possible. How to use "X-Ray vision" on social media and news to tell fact from fiction Why you shouldn't name your child Wolfgang - the dangers of misinterpreting data too literally How failure to think critically caused an experienced detective to miss a literal murder and what we need to learn from that real story The 10 most common cognitive fallacies and traps, listed by a Cambridge Ph.D. - how many are you committing on a daily basis? How to have better relationships with your loved ones by recognizing their BS (and your own) What dueling ice cream shops can teach you about lack of due diligence ...and much, much more! If you didn't listen to Mozart when you were in diapers, the good news is you've still got a chance to develop critical thinking ability. But if you just can't break through to that next level in life...You won't magically develop the ability to make better decisions. Do you want to stop second-guessing yourself, make better decisions under fire, and be the rockstar of your team? Then supercharge your brain and get to that next level ASAP.

Book Description

If you don't know who to trust, keep making stupid mistakes, and question your own judgment...Then keep reading Why do employers judge candidates on the first impression they make, even though they know it's wrong and often misleading? Why do people smoke, drink to excess, and eat things they know are bad for them? How do normally intelligent people wind up believing fake news stories? To find out, let's take a trip back in time to Victorian England. A famous story from the Victorian days is that women had to wear corsets. It's debated how commonplace corsets actually were, but they squeezed a woman's body like a snake - making the waist look smaller. Corsets worked but they were so tight, they caused internal damage to women. They also caused a woman's lower back to atrophy. In fact, corsets were so restricting that women often fainted wearing them! But here's the kicker... Fainting from wearing a corset was actually considered to be a good thing! It was thought to be a sign of good breeding. Or so the story goes. Historians debate how often corsets were actually used. But they're a testament to the power of a cognitive fallacy. Poor reasoning, inability to tell facts from fiction and flawed decision-making cause these kinds of fallacies. They're the reason most people never live up to their potential. Even the smartest people in the world are prone to unconscious bias. A Nature.com study in 2015 ("First results from psychology's largest reproducibility test") examined over 100 psychology studies to see if they could be reproduced. Only around a third of the studies could be replicated! Researchers found a full two-thirds of the studies had been skewed by errors or unconscious biases. They couldn't be trusted. It's not that most people are stupid; they just don't know how to see biases and fallacies. That's why we wrote this book. Inside, you'll find: The false beliefs that led to Aztec human sacrifice, and how they're STILL common today The ultra common fallacy you've probably already been exposed to in your DARE class The easy-to-follow five basics steps of critical thinking. Apply them and you'll make every decision with confidence! Rats spread pestilence and plague - but in India, a "Temple of Rats" was constructed because of this false belief How to make yourself "dumb" because smarter people are HARDER to teach Why you should be skeptical of anyone quoting an authority figure Historic Islamic banking projects, and what they can teach you about false logic Why the supersonic Concorde jet flew so long - even though it was a MASSIVE money loser! Conquer Logical Fallacies explains the major cognitive biases and fallacies people encounter. It goes over arguments and how to tell facts from fiction. You might be thinking "Do I really need this?" If you want to build stronger arguments, make more confident decisions, and spot logical errors - then yes. If you have to work with a wide range of other people or analyze information, you'll find this book INVALUABLE. And you might be stunned by how many false biases you're already carrying around. They bleed into your professional and personal life. Do you want to have confidence in your decisions? Then grab this book and upgrade your brain. Scroll up and click "Add to Cart."
