Good Thinking lays out seven decision-making techniques so you can decide for yourself how much confidence you should have in what you are told by the media and authorities.

These methods are:

    1. The Game of Logic: What follows from what.
    1. Moral Judgment: How we tell right from wrong.
    1. Analogical Reasoning: The heart and soul of insight, discovery, and genius.
    1. Scientific Reasoning: Figuring out what causes what and what to do about it.
    1. Rational Choice: How to choose what is most likely to give you what you most want.
    1. Game Theory: What to do when you're not the only one choosing.
    1. Creative Problem solving: The search for creative solutions to unwanted situations.

Experts use these powerful strategies to make decisions in politics, law, science, and economics. This book teaches you how to apply them in your day-to-day life to make important decisions.
