The Verdict:

Tom Chatfield is an author, tech philosopher and educator interested in the teaching and practice of critical thinking skills. This is a breezy but useful introduction to concepts of critical thinking that’s aimed at university students but can be used by anyone looking to sharpen up their skills. It’s particularly good at explaining concepts such as reasoning, bias, hypothesis and assumptions in a way that’s not patronising and easy to remember.
