Use the mental tools that the world's greatest thinkers used to generate epiphanies, explore the world, and hone their reasoning.
In traditional education, you're taught to recite and regurgitate. Going a step farther, you might learn some critical thinking skills. But what about applying them in the most audacious, fascinating, and inquisitive ways possible with thought experiments?
Philosophical and exploratory thinking pushes your boundaries and opens new worlds.
Learn to Think Using Thought Experiments is about how to analyze, perceive, and interact with information and situations - all in your mind and imagination. It poses a hypothetical and forces you to engage it and answer questions and reason through arguments you've never known. This book will confuse, frustrate, and ultimately improve your thinking prowess like nothing else, on account of being thrown into the mental deep end. Challenge yourself and you will grow.
Improve critical thinking by applying it in innovative and novel ways.
