The Art of Thinking introduces students to the principles and techniques of critical thinking, taking them step-by-step through the problem-solving process.

The book's four parts, “Be Aware,” “Be Creative,” “Be Critical,” and “Communicate Your Ideas,” present students with a process for solving problems and resolving controversial issues. Discussions of how to evaluate ideas and how to question long-held assumptions or biases help students look at concepts critically.
