Overall, this is a good overview of basic critical thinking.

It presents a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. However, at times, it can be a bit repetitive.

This repetition might cause some readers to lose interest or feel that the content is not advancing as quickly as they would like.

Another aspect that caught my attention was the examples Kida used.

Specifically, the ones on false memories that touched upon sexual assault.

These examples could potentially be quite sensitive and might require more careful consideration and explanation.

While they do serve to illustrate the concept of false memories, they also have the potential to evoke strong emotions or raise ethical questions.

Perhaps a more in-depth exploration of these examples would have been beneficial to ensure that readers fully understand the implications and limitations.

Despite these minor drawbacks, the article still provides a valuable introduction to basic critical thinking and is worth reading for those interested in the topic.

This is an excellent summary of several common errors that we are all prone to making in our thinking, especially when we are not on guard against them. The book reads smoothly, and the author offers numerous examples for each category of mistake he describes. It should be a text for the required courses on critical thinking that should be included in the curricula of every high school and college in the country, and indeed, in the world.

There is some overlap with the list of formal fallacies covered in a logic course, but this book also covers some areas that the logic texts do not. Together, they are better than either one alone, and it never harms to have more lights shining into our blind spots. This comprehensive approach helps us to better understand and avoid the pitfalls of our thinking, enabling us to make more informed and rational decisions.

This is a truly GREAT book.

It has provided me with a wealth of knowledge regarding how we think and make decisions.

The author's insights are both profound and accessible, making it easy for readers to understand the complex processes that underlie our cognitive functions.

By reading this book, I have gained a deeper appreciation for the role that emotions, biases, and heuristics play in our decision-making.

I have also learned practical strategies for improving my own thinking and decision-making skills.

Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in understanding the human mind and how we make choices.

It is a must-read for students, professionals, and anyone who wants to make better decisions in their personal and professional lives.
