More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Accessible and engaging, this unique text offers strategies for critical and creative thinking and includes many opportunities for practicing these fundamental skills.
This text introduces students to the principles and techniques of critical thinking, taking them step—by—step through the problem—solving process. Emphasizing creative and active thought processes, the author asserts that good thinking isn't merely knowing what not to do; it is knowing what to do. Discussions of how to evaluate ideas and how to question long—held assumptions or biases help students look at concepts critically. Brief guides to composing, speaking, and logic show students how to apply the skills that enable them to become clear and creative thinkers.

Format:Paperback
I first discovered 'The Art of Thinking : A Guide to Critical and Creative Thought' in a college night course on Logical Thinking and Decision Making. Ruggiero's book was recommended reading as well as use of Neurosync behavior software while working. This book is clear, concise, and covers myriad of information. It should be taught in High Schools. Out of the last 36 hours of college, I learned more from this book than all my other courses. Excellent!
Format:Paperback
This book is a textbook to thinking techniques that we should have been taught in school, but weren't. It discusses the process of idea generation, refinement and criticism, so when you finish studying this book (and study you must) you have gone from brainstorming wild ideas to forming opinions, imagining exciting thoughts, making your arguments and refining them to withstand harsh criticism. It is an important tool to use in a complex world full of rethoric and sound-bites.
Format:Paperback
If you can only master what this book teaches you will truely be an educated and clear thinking person. Very practical, easy to read and understand. This book teaches what most people never learn and desperately need to learn; how to be a quality analytical and creative thinker. Get it, read it over and over and apply it.

mandatory undergraduate textbook
This is a subject area ill-thought-out or ignored in almost all undergraduate courses. It sets the student up to think clearly and critically. Read more
