What’s Critical About Critical Thinking? Greetings, readers. This post is to share some thoughts about a topic near and dear to my heart: critical thinking. For me, it’s a vital skill I aim to exercise, like a muscle, as well as I can. How about you? Keep reading to find out why this matters to me so much, and my recommendation of a book that’s helped me with critical thinking. Why critical thinking matters to me In my view, critical thinking is like a muscle that needs exercise to keep our minds well. I gained some experience with this when I broke out of the indoctrination and undue influence of a cult leader. If you’re reading this, you probably know I wrote a book about that: Undertow: My Escape from the Fundamentalism and Cult Control of The Way International. Undertow: My Escape from the Fundamentalism and Cult Control of The Way International. My capacity to think critically became a major help when, at The Way headquarters in Ohio, I made a serious effort to think for myself.
