Great Insights on How "Thinking" Works,
By paul_cheng "K.F." (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Art of Thinking, The: A Guide to Critical and Creative Thought (Paperback)
This title was the first text book I used in my first ever philosophy class at college some 20 years ago. It really inspired me to start "thinking" about how people think. The flow of the topics and the content successfully aroused my mind and the book actually helped me a lot on ways of thinking even until now. I just want to let everyone know that this title is an excellent read for teenagers to adults alike.

The Best Critical Thinking Primer Ever Written,
By A Customer
This review is from: Art of Thinking, The: A Guide to Critical and Creative Thought (Paperback)
I first read this marvelous book while doing the research for my book "Why Didn't I Think of That? - Think the Unthinkable and Achieve Creative Greatness." Anyone serious about improving their thinking capacities simply must read Ruggiero's book. Used as the primary text in many college level critical and creative thinking courses, "The Art of Thinking" covers both basic and advanced concepts using well designed examples and artfully crafted exercises helping readers to learn both easily and completely. At signing events, and after speaking engagements, when readers of my book ask me to recommend other related works, I always place Ruggiero's book at the top of the list.
