Acerca de esta escucha
Learn to ask the intelligent questions, draw insight, and analyze situations.
Independent thinking is critical thinking. And critical thinking is the key to a life examined, better decision-making, smarter reasoning, and greater mental clarity. The Independent Thinker is a guidebook on how to navigate this world, simply put. Without it, who knows what you'll get caught by? An errant fact? A confusing statistic? A belief that holds dubious truth? We are all subject to these everyday tricks! This book will teach you, from a to z, exactly how to think.
Because the skill of thinking is truly what separates the exceptional from the average. How to make sure that you aren't being fooled, tricked, or manipulated!
Patrick King is an internationally best-selling author and social skills coach. His writing draws of a variety of sources, including scientific research, academic experience, coaching, and real life experience.
Protect yourself from bad data, inaccurate statistics, and old wives' tales:
- The three levels of independent thought
- Critical reading, thinking, and even logic
- What Nietzsche teaches us about finding out for ourselves
- Why our feelings, emotions, and even memories are not reality
- The Paul-Elder framework of critical thinking and examination
- Most importantly, freedom from your own biases, past, and filters

Think smarter, better, and faster. Clear thinking is the key to truth, wisdom, and knowledge. Whether it’s from ourselves or others, we rarely see the world as it really is. We aren’t able to think clearly. We build our beliefs on lies, assumptions, and deceptions. This ends now. Practical methods to never be fooled, stop making mistakes, and avoid traps. The Art of Clear Thinking takes an in-depth look at the everyday illusions we come across, and how to defeat them once and for all.

The Art of Self-Awareness takes you on a journey - not to an exotic destination, but inwards. It’s perilous, scary, and uncomfortable, but the end rewards will be fantastic. Self-awareness is not simply knowing your name; it’s knowing what makes you happy, what makes you sad, and the underlying beliefs and values that create those emotions. The toughest skill of all: metacognition, which is thinking about your thinking. To get to Point B, you must know what Point A is. Listen to this book to find your starting point, your end goal, and what must happen in between!

Your best intentions are not enough. Learn how to scientifically engineer a disciplined existence, become relentless, and never give up.

Every principle is scientifically-driven and dissected to as be actionable and helpful as possible. You'll learn how top performers consistently exercise self-discipline, as well as what drives us on an instinctual, psychological level to act.
