About

Learn to ask the intelligent questions, draw insight, and analyze situations.
Independent thinking is critical thinking. And critical thinking is the key to a life examined.

Better decision-making, smarter reasoning, and greater mental clarity.
The Independent Thinker is a guidebook on how to navigate this world, simply put. Without it, who knows what you'll get caught by. An errant fact? A confusing statistic? A belief that holds dubious truth? We are all subject to these everyday tricks! This book will teach you, from A to Z, exactly how to think. Because the skill of thinking is truly what separates the exceptional from the average.

How to make sure that you aren't being fooled, tricked, or manipulated!
Patrick King is an internationally bestselling author and social skills coach. His writing draws of a variety of sources, from scientific research, academic experience, coaching, and real life experience.

Protect yourself from bad data, inaccurate statistics, and old wives' tales.
The 3 levels of independent thought
Critical reading, thinking, and even logic
What Nietzsche teaches us about finding out for ourselves
Why our feelings, emotions, and even memories are not reality
The Paul-Elder framework of critical thinking and examination
Most importantly, freedom from your own biases, past, and filters.
