3 Steps to Critical Thinking

Insights and Strategies

With many people's tendency to think uncritically, Eve Ash asks Peter Quarry to explain how critical thinking is developed. Peter tells Eve that recognizing and switching off emotions is the first step. This entails understanding how one feels and considering an alternate response. Then it's important not to jump to conclusions: seek the facts and more evidence before responding. Peter recommends rising above the usual "win-lose" approaches to a problem. There might be other solutions if parties calm down first before examining a broader range of possibilities. Be willing to look beyond the ideas and information that merely to confirm the view you already have.
