Beyond Feelings 第九版
副标题：A Guide to Critical Thinking
作者 Vincent Ryan Ruggiero
跟上本书Asking the Right Questions相比，都是讲批判性思维的，ATRQ通过提问训练批判性思维，Beyond Feelings则是如何避免主观思想，但不管怎样，两本书都是强调思考。通过第一章的阅读，个人感觉这本书的语言使用更清晰，易于理解，更有趣。
不能忽视思考的原因：
1.生活在一个被操控的时代
2.现代生活工作中要面对各种复杂的问题，思考才能做出明智的选择和恰当的行为
本书分为三部分：
1.第一部分：解释批判性思维发生的心理、哲学，社会背景，提升批判性思维的习惯和态度。
2.第二部分：帮助学会认识和克服思维中的错误
3.第三部分：提供解决问题的策略
不要忽略第一部分的重要性：
第一部分重新审视一些概念，individuality, critical thinking, truth, knowledge, opinion, evidence, and argument
也许你认为这些概念很熟悉，重新审视这些概念的原因有三点：
1.这些概念的普遍看法是错误的
2.认真审视这些概念会有新收获
3.越透彻的认识这写概念，越有助于你精通批判性思维

感悟
我们在不知不觉中被操控，思维方式更倾向于海绵式思维
为什么现代人越来越没有耐心静下心来读一本书，因为收到频繁变化的媒体影响，持续注意力能力下降。
这一段，读完心里怕怕的
The packaging is often done so effec- tively that the viewer, listener, or reader does not make up his own mind at all. Instead, he inserts a packaged opinion into his mind, somewhat like inserting a DVD into a DVD player. He then pushes a button and ‘plays back’ the opinion whenever it seems appropriate to do so.He has performed acceptably without having had to think.”19Many of the beliefs we hold dearest and defend most vigorously may have been planted in our minds in just this way.
