ETHICS BOOK REVIEW

GROUP 6

Every day is a series of choices we make. Whether these are the small and miniscule
day-to-day choices we make or the larger, more critical choices that could alter the course of our
life. And in this book, it is focused on the latter.

This book entitled, “Critical Thinking Powerful Strategies That Will Make You Improve Decisions
And Think Smarter” by Harvey Segler consists of eight chapters that will teach you how to use
your brain effectively when making critical decisions. It will help harness our critical thinking that
will help the average person make wiser decisions in life.

Harvey Steger’s book is definitely an easy read. Each chapter is short and concise and does not
require deep analysis to understand its concept. I can tell that it was made to cater to the
average person with how it is written. It was written in a way that it could relate to its readers
and did not seem like an academic book. Despite that, there were still some lessons that could
be learned, especially if it was a teenager reading the book.

The book was in no way an eye opener. Some information already seemed like common sense
but I think it definitely needed to be addressed to cement it into the brains of its readers. In
Segler’s books, he emphasized how to use critical thinking in order to SOLVE problems rather
than just decisions. He stated in his book that in this generation where information is so easily
accessed, people have turned to the internet when trying to decide something. But, the internet
will most likely not be able to solve life-changing problems. It is up to the self to make that
decision.

What I liked about this book is that it cemented what I already knew but at the same time
provided more information about why it should be done and also gave examples of what NOT to
do when thinking critically.

Furthermore, Segler imparts upon us the wisdom of acknowledging the limitations of knowledge,
recognizing that true understanding often lies not in definitive answers but in nuanced
exploration and open-minded inquiry. Reminding everyone, but especially us students, to
consider how our thoughts and deeds could impact others and ourselves rather than only
basing them on books. Through the development of a mentality that welcomes ambiguity and
complexity, people can break free from the limitations of binary thinking and discover a world of
limitless opportunities and profound knowledge. He also reminds us readers of the importance
of carving out moments of solitude and stillness, of looking within to understand the mind's inner
workings. With the help of self-reflection, we can then gain insight into our own thought
processes, biases, and motivations, laying the foundation for personal growth and
self-awareness.
