Описание: Contrary to popular myth, we do not yet live in the "Information Age." At best, we live the "Data Age," obsessed with the production, collection, storage, dissemination, and monetization of digital data. But data, in and of itself, isnt valuable. Data only becomes valuable when we make sense of it. We rely on "information professionals" to help us understand data, but most fail in their efforts. Why? Not because they lack intelligence or tools, but mostly because they lack the necessary skills. Most information professionals have been trained primarily in the use of data analysis tools (Tableau, PowerBI, Qlik, SAS, Excel, R, etc.), but even the best tools are only useful in the hands of skilled individuals. Anyone can pick up a hammer and pound a nail, but only skilled carpenters can use a hammer to build a reliable structure. Making sense of data is skilled work, and developing those skills requires study and practice. Weaving data into understanding involves several distinct but complementary thinking skills. Foremost among them are critical thinking and scientific thinking. Until information professionals develop these capabilities, we will remain in the dark ages of data. This book is for information professionals, especially those who have been thrust into this important work without having a chance to develop these foundational skills. If youre an information professional and have never been trained to think critically and scientifically with data, this book will get you started. Once on this path, youll be able to help usher in an Information Age worthy of the name.
Feeble thinking will certainly lead you to difficulties, pains, frustrations, and wasted time and effort. You are the only person who is capable of working to change and improve those thinking processes.
Thinkers who begin to question and reflect upon their thinking become aware that poor thinking patterns can have huge negative impacts on one's life.
If you don't think critically and have mental fog, then it will be hard to make a decision. When we struggle to make decisions, we struggle to problem solve as well. Decision making isn't an easy process. This is why we often have others decide for us
In this book, you will learn:
- Powerful techniques that critical thinkers use to improve their way of thinking and make smart decisions in any situation.
- Think about the way you think. "I know how to think " Well, yes. That doesn't mean a person thinks to the best of their ability.
- How to overcome cognitive biases in your own life through tools and examples.
- The step-by-step process of developing new and useful ideas, and alternative possibilities - creativity is necessary to solve problems.
- How to find, remove and redirect negative thought patterns to positive thoughts - before they result in the development of detrimental behaviors.
... And much more
Whatever field or industry you may be working in, whatever goals or aspirations you might have, whatever obstacles or difficulties you might be facing, you will always be at an advantage if you know how to employ critical thinking.

Analyses of the dynamics of change present in Europe are not complete without taking into account the role and function of the critical approach as a founding element of European culture. An appreciation of critical thinking must go hand-in-hand with reflection on its essence, forms, and centuries-long tradition. The European philosophical tradition has thematized the problem of criticism since its appearance.
This book contains articles on the history of philosophical criticism and ways that it has been understood in European thought. Individual chapters contain both historical-philosophical and problem-oriented analyses, indicating the relationships between philosophical criticism and rationalism, logic, scepticism, atheism, dialectic procedure, and philosophical counseling, among others.
Philosophical reflection on critical thinking allows for an acknowledgment of its significance in the fields of epistemology, philosophy of politics, aesthetics, methodology, philosophy of language, and cultural theory. The book should interest not only humanities scholars, but also scholars in other fields, as the development of an anti-dogmatic critical approach is a lasting and indispensible challenge for all disciplines.
A large number of all the orders ever issued by the various commanders of the infamous Auschwitz Camp have been preserved. They reveal the true nature of the camp with all its daily events.
In these orders, for example, the decent treatment of inmates, the prohibition of their mistreatment as well as the improvement of the hygienic conditions were emphasized. A topic discussed with particular frequency is the visit of family members of SS members to Auschwitz and their constant entering and exiting of the camp. Even the children of SS members were hanging around in the camp and were apparently playing with the inmates. There were even plenty of sightseeing tours of the camp during the war, which some orders tried to regulate. Horticulture, growing fruit trees, picking flowers and much more were addressed in these orders.
Only one thing is not to be found in these orders: the slightest trace of an indication that something outrageous was going on at Auschwitz. On the contrary, many orders are in clear and insurmountable contradiction to claims that inmates were being mass murdered. This book contains a selection of the most important of these orders, along with comments that put them in their proper historical context.
If you're a person who struggles with good communication, and you are not able to listen to the people around you, then reaching mutual understanding in your relationships will prove quite difficult.
Professional relationships are one of the most common types of relationships that people struggle with. When you put more than one person into a room, there can be conflict. Expect it and be ready for it. If you find that two or more members of your team disagree on something, you need to resolve it because this will hold up results. You need to decide on how to deal with the situation.
To adequately arrive at the best decisions, you need an important skill called critical thinking.
In this book, you will learn:
- How to apply the critical thinking process - the key to settling on profitable choices in the work environment, school, home, and so forth.
- The best decision-making and problem-solving methods that will allow you to think as fast as possible without letting these processes slow you down.
- One of the best skills in your life that you will ever create: How to control your emotions - your feelings can hijack your thinking, which could have a powerful impact on your reactions.
- How to set you and your team up for successful and effective conflict resolution.
- Observe your thoughts and feelings and explain these to other people. Being unable to or ineffective at this can lead to miscommunications or misunderstandings in your relationships.
- The power of empathic listening - how to improve your listening skills by putting yourself in their shoes of the other person in order to understand them accurately.
... And much more
