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.

• When it is dumb to argue
• Using the scientific method
• Five rules of brainstorming
• Who has a reason to lie?
• How to analyze opposing viewpoints
• How to analyze evidence and sources
• How to list reasons why you believe something
• And much more
