Information influences our world view and decisions often without us noticing it. Following wrong idols can lead us to bad decisions which lead to unhappiness and a dissatisfying life. When what's \"right, beautiful, successful, and cool\" gets dictated around us we often forget to think for ourselves and make our own choices. Thus we make bad decisions based on the opinion of others - not even our own. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Who should make your life choices for you? You've put your own thoughts, wishes, and opinions off for too long. It's time for that to change.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Models for Critical Thinking provides you with unique insights into the nature of thinking and reasoning - why are we often so wrong, why we are so inclined to avoid the responsibility of thinking for ourselves, and how can we develop solid, objective patterns of thought. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book is a guide for the notoriously \"trusting,\" \"overwhelmed,\" and \"gullible\". It is a deep psychological dive into what makes us stop thinking for ourselves, and how to systematically combat those compulsions.
