So critical thinking is like a mental toolkit that helps you to better see and understand the world around you. It’s the skill of thoughtfully examining information, ideas, issues, topics or situations. It involves looking beyond the surface, asking probing questions, and evaluating information, instead of just accepting things as they are seen or presented. Critical thinkers analyse, they compare, and decide if something makes sense. They consider evidence, spot flaws, and weigh different sides and points of views, before forming their own opinions. At its core, critical thinking empowers you to make better and more informed, well-rounded choices that are in alignment with how you want to live.
