Learning to use your own experience & judgment to direct your life is one of the first steps to personal empowerment. This book presents an original method for individuals to use techniques of critical thinking to examine their lives & break free of the shackles of blind conformity & obedience. Uncritical acceptance of what you have been told by experts, authorities, family, friends, teachers, mentors, & others who demand conformity can trap you in a stifling mental prison. Making sense of the world on the basis of your own experience & judgment--rather than relying on what you've been told--is difficult, especially when the people you look to don't agree with you. Think for Yourself! provides techniques for examining your beliefs, asking questions, & sorting out what really makes sense from what doesn't. It includes techniques for separating hype & pseudo-reasoning from valid information, as well as methods for withstanding the pressure to conform.Presley, Sharon is the author of 'Think for Yourself!: Questioning Pressures to Conform - Sharon Presley - Paperback' with ISBN 9781579510503 and ISBN 1579510507.
