Want to be More Financially Secure, Happier, and Healthier?

Follow us for Critical Thinking Week(ish).

Forget the snake oil, the pyramid schemes, and chakra alignments, CFIC brings you the key to wealth, happiness, and health with one (not-so-simple) idea — critical thinking. 

Follow us during Critical Thinking Week(ish) for a few ideas and thoughts, such as: 

1. An introduction to critical thinking
2. A framework to guide your critical thinking processes
3. Deciding who you should trust
4. Recognizing cognitive biases and adjusting your thinking
5. How to disagree without being disagreeable
6. Understanding common errors in interpreting statistics
7. Identifying when you are being superstitious
8. Why changing your mind makes you smart and capable
9. Why Critical Thinking Week is 10 days
10. A recap to remind you of ways to think better

Critical thinking is not a simple topic. Researchers have extensively studied each of the topics we are exploring. And even with our extended week, we will only be able to scratch the surface.  However, each day provides useful information and an opportunity for you to share your best practices in critical thinking. 

We hope you will get involved. If you want to be notified of Critical Thinking Week posts, sign up here or follow along on our website (www.centreforinquiry.ca/critical-thinking-weekish-2025) and on social media.

If you’d like more information on this topic, please see our Podcast for Inquiry episode, Melanie Trecek-King defines and discusses critical thinking.

Discussion:

What do you think are the most important components of critical thinking? What are some challenges you have encountered with your own critical thinking and that of others?
