Critical thinking is, above all, creative thinking. Critical thinking is a complex thought process, which begins with the receipt of the information and ends with the adoption of a deliberate decision, the formation of a personal relationship. It is the ability to focus on new issues, develop arguments for personal opinions and draw conclusions. This ability is not only to interpret and analyze the information. A person with critical thinking skills will always be able to prove his or her own position. It will be based on logic and on an interlocutor\u2019s opinion, and thus be able to explain why he or she agrees or disagrees.<\/p>\n

    Also, you should understand that the books on critical thinking we have presented here also should be read critically. These books are not spellbooks that reveal all secrets, but informative books that will guide you and teach you on how to think critically. Here we have collected some information about critical reading and we advise you to look it through before reading one of the books from the list.<\/p>\n

    Let\u2019s consider four reading strategies for tackling the books in the list:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Look through briefly. This step includes several actions: read the introduction or the message to the reader in order to understand what kind of information the author is going to tell in the book. Also, look at the conclusions that sum up the main points of the book and the chapters. If you will do this step, you will have a good idea about the book that you are holding in your hands and make a decision if it\u2019s worth reading.<\/li>\n
    2. Ponder the contents. Think of the information that you have already read in the book. Analyze whether you have already read such information or if it may give you additional knowledge about the topic.<\/li>\n
    3. Read it completely. If you have decided that this book is good for you, read it. Don\u2019t forget to think of every single sentence and paragraph. Find the idea and analyze it. You can use a pencil to write down questions in the book, or if the book is not yours, just use a piece of paper for your thoughts.<\/li>\n
    4. Estimate what you have gained. This means that you should ask yourself questions like the following: What new information have I learned? How has it changed my knowledge? What can I do with this knowledge?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      It\u2019s quite difficult to become a critical thinker, and you should put a lot of effort into learning. Don\u2019t be upset if you haven\u2019t already succeeded in becoming a critical thinker, because you are on the way!
