<\/span><b>huge<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and here\u2019s why:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The value of learning to think critically compounds over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you practice, the

let\u2019s dive into these benefits and point out some tips that you probably haven\u2019t applied before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best part?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ll <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/critical-thinking-exercises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exercise our critical thinking skills<\/a> as we go as I demonstrate a few ways I\u2019ve used critical thinking myself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Why Is Critical Thinking Important?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See what I just did there?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I asked a question to demonstrate the first major benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asking and knowing why something matters helps you:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span

civilization only really starts going when people started to think.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that probably only became possible because our ancestors discovered how to irrigate land for farming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although human history is obviously more complex than that, it\u2019s also pretty simple: If you don\u2019t have to spend all your time hunting and foraging for food, you can rest and think more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23318 size-full\"

It&#8217;s based on a questioning model introduced by the philosopher and memory expert <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/giordano-bruno\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Giordano Bruno<\/a> during the Renaissance.<\/p>\n<p>You literally string the most important questions up on a wheel you create in your mind and rotate through them. It&#8217;s a lot of fun and will help you think through things critically in a structured manner.<\/p>\n<p>You can also practice Socratic questioning, which is used to help you explore the logic underlying how other people think and make decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever method you choose, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/questioning-everything\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">question everything<\/a>. It&#8217;s one of the best critical thinking strategies I know.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Stay Curious At All Costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Did you know that researchers have found that curiosity tends to go down as we age? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7925741\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This study<\/a> suggests that curiosity shrinks as we age because we tend to need to conserve our energy compared to when we&#8217;re younger.<\/p>\n<p>Although that might be a natural process, it doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t manually cause yourself to continue being curious.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had to attend to this issue myself. First, I worked on my mental strength using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/mental-strength\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">these strategies<\/a>. That way, I became less likely to cave into pre-judging things instead of approaching them with maximum curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>And because critical thinking is so important, I completed various learning projects that were somewhat against my inclination. For example, as I shared in my TEDx Talk, I used to be a militant atheist.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Two Easily Remembered Questions That Silence Negative Thoughts | Anthony Metivier | TEDxDocklands\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kvtYjdriSpM?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>To make good on the mental strength tactics that helped me remain open to various other forms of thinking, I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/why-memorize-scripture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">memorized some scripture<\/a> and even a bunch of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/sanskrit-phrases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanskrit phrases<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I really can&#8217;t exaggerate the value of having opened my mind in this way. My only wish is that I&#8217;d gotten started sooner. I&#8217;m confident that will be your wish too when you work on improving your openness and curiosity.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Get Familiar With Your Biases<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, all humans are biased. In fact, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/memory-bias\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">memory biases<\/a> that can contribute to being close-minded and lacking in curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>To combat these, everything starts with educating yourself about bias. Then, commit to change, or at least keep an eye out for how they might be shaping your behavior. If you can spot them, you can think critically about them.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Practice Active Listening<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In our world of shattered attention, it&#8217;s easy to engage in conversations without actually listening to what people are saying.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a shame, because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4270393\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this study<\/a> shows how easily people perceive when you&#8217;re not listening to them. That will condition the kinds of answers they give you during conversations.<\/p>\n<p>To improve in this area myself, I started repeating what people are saying in my mind. This simple action kept me focused without mind wandering. I&#8217;ve had much more to think about critically as a result \u2013 and much better outcomes from my discussions.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s very helpful for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/how-to-remember-conversations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">remembering conversations<\/a> too.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Engage in Friendly Debates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Often we avoid debating one another. However, I believe this is a mistake \u2013 it&#8217;s not like you have to engage in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/how-to-prepare-for-a-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">debate prep<\/a> to improve your critical thinking while discussing with others.<\/p>\n<p>The key is make sure you keep it friendly. I personally practice letting go of the outcome, which means not wanting or needing to win.<\/p>\n<p>That way, I can enjoy breaking issues down and simply practicing the various angles involved as my friends challenge my assumptions.<\/p>\n<p>Debates are a fantastic way to practice problem-solving too. You just need to pick unsolved problems to debate over so you can think through various ways you might attempt to solve important issues.<\/p>\n<h3><b>How Many More Benefits Of Critical Thinking Do You Want?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can probably tell, there\u2019s a fair amount of crossover between these benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that means you can expect a lot more than eleven<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0benefits as you practice critical thinking in your daily life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know because I taught a fourth year Critical Thinking course for several years as a professor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I saw many students experience all of the benefits on this page and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I were to sum it up in one word, it would be that they <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">flourished<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that they were more than happy.
