About this listen
Did you know that 93 percent of CEOs agree that this skill is more important than your college degree?
Amazon's market cap is 1.7 trillion dollars. And it all started when Jeff Bezos used this skill to see a market inefficiency back in the day, before anyone else.
During the 1980s "Coke Wars", Coca-Cola and Pepsi went back and forth competing to be America's top soda. But Coca-Cola didn't use this skill at the right time...And their mistake almost completely blew up one of America's oldest and most valuable companies.
Having this skill in your back pocket is like shortcutting Malcom Gladwell's 10,000 hours rule to learning something (who's got time for that?).
So, what is it?
Nothing complex or fancy.
But it's the skill supreme court justices have in spades (they're the highest legal authority in our country because they can do this thing).
It's critical thinking.
Critical thinking is one of those skills everyone "thinks" that they already have...
But most people are anxious, unhappy, doubt their decisions, and aren't where they want to be in life.
Sometimes, basic skills aren't so basic.
But it's not your fault. Our educational system doesn't teach critical thinking. You can only learn it from the right kind of experiences - and most people never do.
In 2011, a study called "It Takes More Than a Major: Employer Priorities for College Learning and Student Success" found that 93 percent of business leaders agreed "a demonstrated capacity to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems is more important than [a candidate's] undergraduate major".
So, if you feel like you don't have the right diploma or the right skill set to succeed at what you do, don't worry.
But if you thought your degree would get you everything you've wanted out of life, you're going to be disappointed.
Remember when people thought the Earth was flat? It took a critical thinker to disprove that.
The ancient Chinese general Sun Tzu said, "know your opponent and know yourself; in a hundred battles, you will never be in peril".
You (probably) won't be leading an army into war, but the ability to think clearly will help you keep confident no matter what life throws at you.
Here's just a fraction of what you'll discover:
- The critical thinking framework developed by two of the most experienced critical thinking scientists of all time - and how to make it your own
- The reason VHS became a household name and Betamax became a household joke (Ever heard of Betamax? No? There's a reason for that)
- How to shortcut the famous Malcom Gladwell "10,000 Hours Rule" to become an expert critical thinker, fast
- The 7 qualities of a critical thinker - how many do you have right now?
- What a WW2 pilot and the people of Romania can teach you about critical thinking - this is the key to not making huge mistakes
- How to identify fake news and misinformation - learn this, and you'll have a massive leg up on almost everyone around you right now
- Actionable, easy exercises to drill home every point covered in the novel. You won't "listen to and forget" this audiobook
- And much, much more!
This isn't a dry, theoretical audiobook - this audiobook is dedicated to imparting to you the maxims of how to think critically, as fast and effectively as possible.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
Why do employers judge candidates on the first impression they make, even though they know it’s wrong and often misleading? Why do people smoke, drink to excess, and eat things they know are bad for them? How do normally intelligent people wind up believing fake news stories? To find out, let’s take a trip back in time to Victorian England. A famous story from the Victorian days is that women had to wear corsets. It’s debated how commonplace corsets actually were, but they squeezed a woman’s body like a snake - making the waist look smaller.

Story
Modern work life is a maze, but you can find a shortcut through it. We are spending longer hours at work, although we desire more work-life balance. According to the World Population Review, the 10 countries with the longest workweeks averaged 42.2 hours. Given how much time you spend at work, wouldn’t it be better if you could be more efficient at your job? The Harvard Business Review says that workers spend as much as 41 percent of the average workday on tasks that don’t add value. Modern work poses its challenges.

Many of us dread having to convey our ideas to others, often feeling ill-equipped, anxious, and awkward. Public speaking experts help by focusing on planned communication experiences such as slide presentations, pitches, or formal talks. Yet, most of our professional and personal communication occurs in spontaneous situations that creep up on us and all too often leave us flustered and stumbling for words. Stanford lecturer, podcast host, and communication expert Matt Abrahams provides tangible, actionable skills to help even the most anxious of speakers succeed when speaking spontaneously.

You might believe you’re thinking clearly in the moments that matter most. But in all likelihood, when the pressure is on, you won’t be thinking at all. And your subsequent actions will inevitably move you further from the results you ultimately seek—love, belonging, success, wealth, victory. According to Farnam Street founder Shane Parrish, we must get better at recognizing these opportunities for what they are, and deploying our cognitive ability in order to achieve the life we want.

Every principle is scientifically-driven and dissected to as be actionable and helpful as possible. You'll learn how top performers consistently exercise self-discipline, as well as what drives us on an instinctual, psychological level to act.

We all want to experience pleasure and avoid pain. But there are really two kinds of pleasure and pain that motivate everything we do. If you are promotion-focused, you want to advance and avoid missed opportunities. If you are prevention-focused, you want to minimize losses and keep things working. And as Tory Higgins has found in his groundbreaking research, if you understand how people focus, you have the power to motivate yourself and everyone around you.

If you are promotion-focused, you want to advance and avoid missed opportunities. If you are prevention-focused, you want to minimize losses and keep things working. And as Tory Higgins has found in his groundbreaking research, if you understand how people focus, you have the power to motivate yourself and everyone around you.

Most of us live with the stubborn idea that we'll always have tomorrow to do our most important and valuable work. We fill our days with frantic activity, bouncing from task to task, scrambling to make deadlines and chase the next promotion. But by the end of each day we're often left asking ourselves "did the work I do today really matter?" We feel the ticking of the clock, but we're stuck in first gear, unsure of the path forward and without a road map to guide us.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Why do employers judge candidates on the first impression they make, even though they know it’s wrong and often misleading? Why do people smoke, drink to excess, and eat things they know are bad for them? How do normally intelligent people wind up believing fake news stories? To find out, let’s take a trip back in time to Victorian England. A famous story from the Victorian days is that women had to wear corsets. It’s debated how commonplace corsets actually were, but they squeezed a woman’s body like a snake - making the waist look smaller.

Well-Researched & Solid Foundation of Knowledge
Critical Thinking in a Nutshell is an absolute gem for anyone looking to improve their critical thinking skills. The narrator's delivery is impeccable, capturing the essence of each concept with clarity and enthusiasm. The content is well-researched and provides a solid foundation of knowledge. The inclusion of critical thinking exercises at the end of each chapter is a brilliant addition, allowing listeners to apply what they've learned. The only drawback I found was that the pace of the narration felt a bit rushed at times.

All my life I have been trying to develop my own method of critical thinking without realizing it. I come up with ideas for improving things all the time but that caused me to be feared, hated, and used by people. It is nice to know there is nothing wrong with me and there is a name for what I have been doing. Great introductory book and I am off to find more books on critical thinking!

Well done
As critical thinking has become a trend lately, I couldn't help looking into it with a critical eye. Hundreds of books, podcasts, blog posts, and newsletters promise to teach you how to think for yourself, grow wiser and make the right decisions in everything you do. This book is one of those that keep the promises made in the title and its summary.
The explanations in this book are simple and straightforward, the examples are illustrative and very interesting (Trivia-like!). Listening to the audio version gave me a clear understanding of the concepts and got me very interested in getting the print version, so I can follow the action steps prescribed at the end of each chapter.
Congratulations to the author and the narrator for turning the topics of logic and critical thinking into a nice audiobook!
