Being Logical: A Guide to Good Thinking

Being Logical is a clear and engaging guide to thinking well in a world filled with misinformation, weak arguments, and misleading claims. D. Q. McInerny breaks logic down into simple principles, showing readers how to build sound arguments and recognize flawed reasoning.

With concise explanations and practical examples, the book explores common sources of illogical thinking, including narrow-mindedness, naïve optimism, red herrings, distractions, and oversimplification. Rather than simply teaching the rules of logic, McInerny shows how understanding bad reasoning can help us become better thinkers.

Accessible and surprisingly witty, Being Logical is a useful introduction to critical thinking for anyone who wants to reason more clearly and confidently.
