The Verdict:

Tom Chatfield is an author, tech philosopher and educator with a focus on critical thinking skills. This really useful book is aimed at students but has a lot for ‘ordinary’ people who want to work on their critical thinking skills, including sorting through and questioning information, understanding biases and how to make a strong argument. It’s clearly written, easy to follow and has useful summaries at the end of each chapter.

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.
