Summary: it's only 'thought' if vincent says so
Review: this is a rather interesting book, but the writer hardly practices what he preaches about objective thinking. there are also instances in the text where he lashes out at the reader to shelter his ego. this latent hostility disguised as a scholarly publication enforces a message: if you disagree with me, you're not only wrong, you're a jerk too.

thank goodness, meanwhile, that not everybody in this world strives to develop the author's ayn rand class of thinking. the very suggestion that humans should suppress thoughts that aren't 'noble' smacks of orwell. somehow, fortunately, the human animal never caught on to being stony and emotionless. did the author ever consider that passion might actually be a valuable survival tool to the human animal?

it's an okay text to get your mind busy, but it's the wrong one to turn to for creative or objective thinking.

Summary: Great Insights on How "Thinking" Works
Review: This title was the first text book I used in my first ever philosophy class at college some 20 years ago. It really inspired me to start "thinking" about how people think. The flow of the topics and the content successfully aroused my mind and the book actually helped me a lot on ways of thinking even until now. I just want to let everyone know that this title is an excellent read for teenagers to adults alike.
