I love that this wasn’t about being smarter. Just being more aware of how you think. Big difference.

Why is everyone saying Anwen Reid’s anxiety quiz “called them out” without explaining what it actually said? You can’t all leave comments like that and expect the rest of us not to become curious. Someone needs to explain what kind of results this quiz gives.

Personally, I have grasped only the essence of Dr Pearlman’s approach to the teaching of critical thinking, but with the underlying feel of a commercial for his courses; I have not felt exposed to his method in a way in which I can say I learned how to actively polish my critical thinking.

Critical thinking is also ACTIVE thinking and let's face it, the lure of autopilot is so strong not many people are super active in their own lives

This talk makes me so grateful for my dad. I don't think he knew what he was doing at the time but he was big on questioning why things are the way they are and thinking beyond just what you can see in an issue.
