"Improve your thinking and improve your life."

Yeah! That's right, isn't it? If we want a good life we have to change our thinking. Thinking is a very good and very bad thing at the same time. Agree?
Now back to the review.

Do you think there is not a proper way of thinking? Don't be afraid. I also thought that before reading this book.

Before my overview, I want to mention something which you should know before reading this book:
Honestly, this book has nothing special which can make you a great thinker overnight or something you don't know. This book has very simple tips which everyone knows.
BUT
Look, there are many things we know. Things which resides somewhere in our brain and we don't know where? This book shows us the path where those things lie in our brain. I hope you understand my meaning.

*OVERVIEW
This book consists of 50 tips about: how to think clearly? How to think effectively? How to present your idea in an effective way?

*LINES I LIKED FROM THE BOOK
~Thoughts become things.
~There are two type of pain: the pain of commitment and the pain of regret.
~You must accept yourself and your weakness to give way to a better you.
~Be aware that ego and arrogance keep one away from educating himself.
~Big minds discuss ideas, not gossips.
~A problem is only a problem if you see it as a problem.
~Agreeing to certain situations isn't wrong, but always agreeing is a big NO.
~No idea is ever wrong or right. It only depends on one's perception.
~Learning is a neverending process from cradle to grave.
~With well-informed mind, you get a developed mind.
~Being always at ease is dangerous.
~Always remember that you are a different person.....
~There is nothing wrong in making mistakes and it's a part of learning process.
~Polish your idea until they shine.
~The life you are painting is your masterpiece, and your paintbrush is your mind. (I liked this very much)

According to the facts I mentioned above I would like to give:
**4 Bright Stars**

I don't know but my mind is not allowing me to give this book 5 stars. Maybe because this book was very short. It should be more than that.

I hope you like my review, if you don't then please! point out my mistakes I would be happy to see that.

Thanks for your attention!

It was a short read (55 pages only). This book does contain some helpful information. Frankly I expected more from this book. Anyway it was a pretty enjoyable read since I am interested in the topic.
I received a free copy from the Goodreads First Reads program.

[Mika Auramo · Rating 2 out of 5]

Lewisin kirja jää pitkälti luettelomaiseksi viidenkymmen ohjeen kimaraksi, miten selvitä erilaisista eteentulevista tilanteista.

On siinä paljon hyviä asioita pohdiskeltavaksi henkilöille, jotka haluavat kehittää itseymmärrystään ja toimintaansa erilaisissa sosiaalisissa tilanteissa.

Tehoa ohjeista kyllä vie kirjoitustyyli,joka on aika usein muutamalla virkkeellä ja heikoin perusteluin kuitattuja elämänohjeita tai toimintavinkkejä. Osa vaikuttaa Eeva-lehdestä tai vastaavasta reväistyiltä, osassa sen sijaan on ideaakin.

Aiheet käsittelevät niin tietoisuutta omista tunteista, itsekeskeisyyttä,näkökulmatekniikoita,järkevää päättelykykyä, kriittistä ajattelua ja monia muita, joilla pystyy parantamaan omaa luovuutta ja sopeutumiskykyä eri tilanteissa.

[Ganesh Ramakrishnan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Disappointingly simple, especially due to the expectations set by the title. This is less of a book and more of a collection of short notes (half to one page) about thinking and living in general. The advice itself is fine as it goes (like Be Creative, Get rid of egocentric thinking, Make reasoned decisions, Be realistic, Be consistent) and seems to be aimed at young students. There are no examples. At best it may be useful and interesting if this was one of the first ever self-help books someone in high school was reading.

[Sipho · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not very good, sadly.

The promise was that this book would contain STRATEGIES for critical thinking. It did not deliver. The advice here is far too generic to be useful. Things like "identify the problem" and "think about it from another angle" are too vague to be useful.

There are a few tid-bits of good info here and there but broadly speaking, this book isn't worth the time.

[Ankur Bhardwaj · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not that much important for beginners only

[Dagmar · Rating 3 out of 5]

There was some useful info but some of it was common sense.
