What you get
Why Smart People Reason Badly
Fast intuition versus slow checking, what a reflection test shows, and the habit of naming your first answer as a draft.
Overconfidence and How It Hides
Three kinds of overconfidence, the easy and hard task pattern, and a prediction log to see your own.
Open-Minded Thinking
What actively open-minded thinking includes, what scales can and cannot predict, and four habits for weighing the other side.
Intellectual Humility
What four studies found about people who recognise their beliefs might be wrong, and ways to hold views at the right confidence.
Misinformation and How to Correct It
Why retractions often fail, what a pooled analysis of 24 correction studies found, and a check before you share.
Prebunking and Debunking
Five short videos tested on 6,464 people and 22,632 YouTube viewers, and a review of 52 studies on correcting false claims.
Debiasing in Practice
Why change is hard, three groups of suggested interventions, and forcing functions you can build into your day.
Debiasing Training in the Field
A study of 290 graduate students: one session cut the chance of choosing the confirming, wrong answer by 19 percent.
Can Critical Thinking Be Taught?
What a pooled analysis of teaching methods found, with its limits, and how to train your own reasoning.
A Practice Routine
Four if-then plans and a light weekly routine that turn the book into habit.
Reasoning Drills with Answer Keys
49 practice drills: first-answer puzzles, numbers and chance, ranges, fallacies, weighing evidence and mapping arguments, each with a checked answer. Practice material, not research.
Checklists, Templates and Glossary
Copyable tools for each chapter, a short glossary and a plan for the first month. Practice material, not research.
What makes this different
Every research claim names its study
Each research claim names the study and says what was read. A Sources section lists all 14.
Practice you can check
49 drills come with answer keys, and every worked number was checked by hand. Drills and examples are labelled as practice, never passed off as research.
Tools to copy
Checklists and templates for each chapter, plus a plan for the first month.
