How to Improve Your Critical Thinking Skills

[@joantomlin898]

Thanks Mr. McKinney for the info. I've had adhd all of my life. Trying to retrain my brain to look before I leap, so to speak. It's gonna be a tough road. I'm 63, and the gray matter really doesn't want to cooperate. Your video was greatly appreciated, sir.

[@PhilMcKinney]

Thanks for sharing your story! It makes me so happy to hear the video connected with you. Please never discount yourself because of age (I’m 64) or ADHD - in fact, your life experience combined with creative ADHD thinking can be incredible assets for critical thinking! Keep growing and learning - you're clearly crushing it! 💪😊​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Psss - this week’s episode starts off a new series on “mindset” which is complimentary to thinking skills.

@PhilMcKinney thanks! I'll definitely give it a try.

.. as a German Biologist - this is about the Spectrum of „Stress“ when we are confronted with something that Impacts us so we act on Impulse. Impulse Control Inner Strength Training to be aware without acting on sudden emerging Impulse. All Advertisement acts as manipulation to enhance Impulse Action. This is awareness of the sublime conditions of the Limbic System that acts on our Auto Pilot. All World Economy is driven by Impulse and Manipulation. When we get sober and Control Impulse we are back in global Depression... Keep buying - what you never need...

What a video packed with gems. I will have to watch it again to really digest all those good information. I started to read his book which at first is also really really good 😊

This was an amazing explanation of how to think critically . I truly all the effort put into making this video, truly it has transformed my life for the better, and it is thanks to your generosity and kindness... I am grateful for your willingness to share these tips, I pray that you live long and happy. Thank you Phil Mckinney ❤

I appreciate that!

[@izzyduchess]

@@PhilMcKinney it looks like this will be a good topic for debate, that is whether intelligence is fixed according to genetics or can be improved by learning or other means. I encourage you to read the book “mindsets” by carol dweck who presents evidence that intelligence can improve with a growth mindset. Actually, come to think of it, you are advocating mastering critical thinking skills, isn’t this in itself evidence (if this holds true) or holds premise that intelligence is not fixed but can be improved? By the way, thanks for a very good video on the topic of critical thinking. I plan to listen to more of your videos in the future.

I always look for were the money comes from when reasoning #1

[@PhilMcKinney]

Good point …

[@leshasf7531]

❤👍🙏Thanks

[@PhilMcKinney]

You are so welcome. Thanks for commenting.

[@VlogsNiKuyang]

Thanks sir❤ excellent tips! I also notice your voice sir👉 you should drink Ginger (boiled) it will help you a lot👌

[@PhilMcKinney]

Thanks for the tip. My vocal cords were damaged in Feb ‘23 following my open heart surgery at Mayo. Testing shows the damage should not be permanent. Drs are trying different ways to restore my voice. I’m going to try Ginger … and will report back the results. Thanks again for the advice.

[@xonx209]

It would be more effective if you give examples instead of pure theory. Also, when explaining critical thinking, i would avoid using the word critical in the explanation because it sounds like circular explanation.

[@spaceknight5022]

Isn’t this a verbatim copy of Jeffrey Ford’s video on raising IQ???

[@PhilMcKinney]

Interesting comparison … but no. Never heard of Ford before your comment - so I watched it. I disagree with the premise that IQ is a “skill” you can learn and improve. Genetics play an oversized role in determining it. Critical Thinking however is a skill that anyone can learn and improve.

[@PhilMcKinney]
