The Art of Clear Thinking, Rudolf Flesch Ph.D. Harper & Row, 1951
When we take control of our thinking, when we deliberately
reason out and consider the circumstances before making decisions,
these generally come out better then when we are forced by
circumstances outside of us to react.
But everyone knows how to think, right? Thinking and building a skill
in systematic thinking are very different. Most of us are not trained
how to think about an issue. We generally “think off the cuff” the way
our parents taught us, or we “parrot” like we're taught in school. Read
this book and you'll know very quickly how well you “think” about
things. If you are good at thinking you will enjoy this book and if
you're not you'll enjoy this book as well as learn to think more
independently and effectively.
