The book is organized into 25 daily readings, and postulates that by focusing our attention on certain ways of thinking, we can become a more critical thinker, which in turn helps us “observe, monitor, analyze, assess, and reconstruct” our thinking, which can help us live better lives.
Good news for those of you using the English version of Englishtips!
Pumukl, whom you must know very well - he probably helped YOU personally several times in either chatbox or comments - has done a TREMENDOUS job of compiling all possible questions (to ease the lives of Englishtips newbies and not only theirs) into a HUGE Help section in English - in the forum.
I insist that every Englishtips user - no matter how long you have been with us - reads this section. Please do - you will not only get a better idea of what Englishtips is, but will also know where to direct newbies to!
Cheers go to Pumukl for creating this invaluable section, to Trzcina and Stovokor for proof-reading it. Thank you guys - for making this site a better place!
