Quick and interesting read, plus: quizzes! Very TOK, and I'm sure I'll use this for class quite a bit.

According to this book my thinking is remarkably self-consistent and I am a fairly logical person. Clearly something is wrong.

Another book in my campaign to step outside of my skull and have a good rummage around inside it.
This book catches you out in errors of thought that you didn't know you were making - a fantastic gift to anyone who wants to get better at thinking straight. Be warned, this can be painful. But by the end I was willing myself to find more faults with my thinking.
Doubting yourself can be useful, if you can use this to make a decision now that you can't actually make that decision just yet and furthermore if you can decide now what additional information you need to, in the future, decide when a decision might be made as well as deciding what that decision is when said information is to hand.
So to speak.

Fun book that only took a few hours to do all the exercises. It would have taken quite a bit longer if I had run afoul of more errors in my logic. I am glad I was able to confirm I am logically consistent in my opinions and beliefs.

This book has concluded that I am either a subtle thinker or a mass of contradictions. Now I am contradicting this hint of contradiction in a very subtle manner, phew!
