Book Title: How to Think For Yourself: A Practical Guide to Critical Thinking
Subtitle: An Open Educational Resource
Book Description: How to Think For Yourself: A Practical Guide to Critical Thinking is a peer-reviewed Open Educational Resource (OER) designed to bridge the gap between abstract philosophical inquiry and everyday decision-making. Rather than treating logic as a set of rigid, detached rules, this text focuses on the real-world architecture of belief, persuasion, and bias. This text is built on a foundational commitment to open access and public philosophy. It approaches critical thinking not as a passive academic exercise, but as an active, character-driven skill set.
