It was a weird shock to me when I had my first critical thinking course in college--this was immensely useful! Why didn't they teach this to me in public school? Aha, but there lies the rub---public schools aren't there to prepare you, they're there to delay your competition in the world, keeping you ritualized and ignorant of things you need to survive.
The first book "Effortless Attention" is very "dry" becuase it is a collection of reaserch about attention and its physical effects. If you want to know why you feed tired or irritable after working hard with non-physical labor, this is the book for you. The next book "Critical Thinking" is about the tactical software of questions and standards we should use while thinking.
