The Thinking Toolbox

Thirty-Five Lessons That Will Build Your Reasoning Skills

By: Nathaniel Bluedorn, Hans Bluedorn

Narrated by: Martin Reeve

The Thinking Toolbox has been the best selling text for teaching critical thinking skills and introduction to logic for over 15 years.

This book is like a toolbox, full of different kinds of tools you can use for different thinking tasks. Just as you use the wrench in a regular tool box to fix the sink, so you can use the tools we give you in this book to solve thinking problems.

Critic reviews

"The Bluedorns have certainly achieved their goal of creating a logic textbook that is neither boring nor distant, but rather informative, approachable, enjoyable, and valuable." —Jordan J. Ballor at the Acton Institute - Acton Institute web site

very relatable

This is very well done and easy to keep up with. Relatable situations that help make sense of the idea he's across. I like how he takes a pause after his question so you have time to hit pause and discuss your child's answer and then see if they were right.
