The author also provides as introduction several really good reasons that you would want to develop critical thinking skills. Those reasons include
- Avoiding being taken advantage of by con artists
- Avoiding false beliefs that are held simply because it makes you feel good or some sort of authority told you so
- Being able to focus on goals instead of getting distracted
- Being able to defend your beliefs
- Avoiding taking personally actions that you perceive as attacks, and being able to resolve conflicts in a positive way
- Increasing your self-confidence by knowing that your judgment is good
- Keeping your mind sharp
