This has been an unofficial textbook (for me) in my analytical thinking class at uni. If there is a book you should read/listen to more than once, this is the book. Get it in your library and then get it in your head.

I really enjoyed 'The Art of Thinking Clearly'! The author uses great examples and stories to make the book easy to understand and relatable. I even laughed out loud a few times!

The book gave me a lot to think about and helped me see things from a different perspective. My only issue is that there are so many cognitive biases listed - it's hard to remember them all!

Overall, I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their critical thinking skills. Just be prepared to take some notes and maybe revisit some parts again.

So many take aways, too many in fact
