After all these years, I have finally figured out what critical thinking means for me now in my life. It's like having a trusted guide that helps me navigate through many situations. I can now also separate fact from fiction, make far smarter decisions, but more than anything, feel more sure of myself. Critical thinking has given me a whole new perspective on life and a clearer path to a more meaningful and satisfying existence. Well done Dr McEvoy. Brilliant performance and content.
