Critical Thinking

A practical introduction to judging what to believe at work, for any employee or team leader. Learn to find the premises, conclusion and hidden assumptions in an argument, test the logic, recognise common fallacies, weigh evidence and sources, notice your own bias, and read percentages, averages and charts with care. It ends with a full case study and a routine for building well-reasoned proposals of your own.
