Amazon.com Exclusive: The Critical Thinking Toolkit
James Flynn’s How to Improve your Mind sets forth strategies—20, to be exact—for understanding and interpreting the world around us. These include positive “key concepts,” ideas that help us analyze our world, and “anti-keys,” ideas that can get in the way of intelligently understanding the things around us.
Flynn looks at each of these keys in turn, using examples from across academic disciplines to illustrate how these concepts can be applied in real life. But what are these concepts? Here is a sampling of the tools that Flynn wants everyone to pack into their critical-thinking toolboxes:
More information about each of these keys and anti-keys, along with the remaining 15 concepts, are available in How to Improve Your Mind.
Each day our minds experience a deluge of conversation, lectures, newspapers, TV, the Internet, and more. But what should we really be paying attention to? James R. Flynn, world-renowned intelligence researcher and discoverer of the Flynn Effect (the phenomenon of rising global IQs over time), poses the most challenging question of all: Who is to be the master of all this information – you or the modern world? It is you, he claims, who must be the gatekeeper that filters out what is worth remembering. Otherwise you may find yourself at the mercy of a life that you can only manage day by day.
In How to Improve Your Mind, Flynn presents 20 key concepts to aid critical thinking: practical guidelines that will empower you to critically analyze what you read, what you hear, and what you see. You will gain a greater understanding of a wide range of topics that include contemporary race and IQ debates, what makes good science and history, why America and Israel behave as they do, and the origins of the current economic crisis. Flynn's "20 keys" translate into an invaluable toolkit enabling readers to make up their own minds about ethics, religion, history, economics, international politics, and even what they should eat. How to Improve Your Mind offers great insights into how to become an information master in the age of information overload."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
