About
Light Bulb Moments and the Power of Critical Thinking:
Insights from Inquiring Minds and Literary Heroes
By Gloria Moss PhD and Katherine Armitage
The value of Critical Thinking has been celebrated for centuries. Einstein spoke of the need to ‘Question everything’ and Jung summed up its importance when he stated that ‘The ability to ask questions is the greatest resource in learning the truth’.
Unfortunately, a number of factors can stand in the way of Critical Thinking, one of these being a lack of training, a problem in numerous countries where school and university curricula neglect these skills. There are also psychological obstacles with group pressure and propaganda forcing conformity, these effects are illustrated by extensive research. What research has ignored, however, are those factors that can encourage it.
This book fills this gap by analysing the Critical Thinking of twenty four modern-day thinkers whose insights cover topics from Money, Law and Order, Health, History and Geo-Politics through to Philosophy, Religion and Spirituality. Contributorsinclude: Mark Devlin, Matthew Ehret, Sir Julian Rose, Justin Walker, John Hamer, Neil Kramer, David Adelman, Chad Manian, Katherine Armitage, Eve Gilmore, Gloria Moss and others. What is more, the book compares the attributes and triggers of these inquiring minds with those of the heroes of Brave New World, Nineteen Eighty Four and Fahrenheit 451 and the findings may leave you excited and astonished.
The authors:
Professor Gloria Moss PhD is the author of many books and peer review journal articles on History, Management and Consumer Behaviour. She is a passionate advocate of evidence-based teaching and research.
Katherine Armitage is a homeopath, writer and activist on a path of spiritual service.
The book that could change our world
This important new book comes at a crucial point in human history when unreason seeks to dethrone what is best about human civilisation. Our weapon against the forces of destruction is Critical Thinking, a concept celebrated by Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Descartes and Carl Jung to name but a few. For Socrates, ‘A life without investigation is not worth living’ and for Descartes, ‘Every part of thinking, should be questioned, doubted, and tested’. Jung summed up its importance in his view that ‘The ability to ask questions is the greatest resource in learning the truth’. Without Critical Thinking, there can be no truth.
Light Bulb Moments are also the product of Critical Thinking and human civilisation would be the poorer without them. So what factors can help and hinder Critical Thinking, a concept whose importance is recognised by institutions the world-over, including the BBC? There is plentiful research on factors impeding the exercise of Critical Thinking, conformist pressures, propaganda and the absence of modern-day teaching of relevant skills, but extraordinary though it may seem, there is nothing on those factors that can encourage it.
Vital findings:
This book presents the Critical Thinking of twenty four cutting-edge modern-day thinkers who reflect on the questions that acted as stepping-stones in their lives. These thinkers cover a vast range of topics from the Financial system, Law and Order, Health, History and Geo-Politics through to Philosophy, Religion and Spirituality. Their contributions reflect lives led in different parts of the world, whether Britain, Sweden, Poland, the US or Canada and their accounts can be personal and informative at the same time. The thinkers include Sir Julian Rose, Justin Walker, Mark Devlin, Mark Hamer, Eve Gilmore, Matthew Ehret, David Adelman, Chad Manian, the authors and others.
Through a comparison with factors mentioned by seventy four self-confessed questing people, the authors identify the attributes and triggers that propelled these thinkers along their journeys. What is more, these very features underpin the heroic thinking and actions of the heroes of Brave New World, Nineteen Eighty Four and Fahrenheit 451.
Light Bulb Moments and the Power of Critical Thinking is a call to arms to enhance society’s Critical Thinking skills and with that embrace a future rooted not only in evidence-based thinking but also in truth.
