A building block approach to CT learning

Although I had some background and reference with critical thinking, I learned a lot from the way the author developed the book. Starting at the basics, the author builds the information all the way through problem solving, both at a personal level and in a company or business setting. After completion of the audiobook, I feel comfortable enough with the subject where I could identify a situation when critical thinking would be appropriate.

One of my favorite parts of the book was when the author emphasized the need for proper evaluation with a situation before developing the critical thinking solution. So many times, do we just jump in and try to solve something without really understanding the problem. This book would be great for any supervisor who has employees assigned to them.
