The Thinking Toolbox
If your teen is full of opinions but short on logic, The Thinking Toolbox is the book to toss into his brainy backpack. From the clever minds behind The Fallacy Detective, this self-teaching critical thinking course turns lofty logic into bite-sized brilliance—served with a healthy side of humor.
This isn’t some dusty old textbook. With short chapters, hilarious cartoons, and real-world relevance, The Thinking Toolbox teaches your student how to think clearly, argue wisely, and sniff out nonsense from a mile away. It’s logic training without the yawns.
Inside, your student will learn:
- When it’s just plain dumb to argue
- How to break down an argument (including his own!)
- Why brainstorming needs rules
- What makes evidence actually useful
- How to spot sneaky lies (and the liars who tell them)
- The basics of the scientific method—minus the lab goggles
Designed with teens in mind but accessible for sharp tweens and curious parents too, The Thinking Toolbox is packed with 35 practical lessons and over 60 witty illustrations. It covers everything from evaluating sources and analyzing opposing viewpoints to running solid experiments and avoiding pseudoscience rabbit holes.
No lectures. No memorizing. Just tools—logical ones—for thinking better in real life, whether it’s at the kitchen table or the courtroom (a.k.a. your homeschool debate club).
So grab your mental wrench and tighten up those reasoning skills. This is one toolbox you’ll actually want to open.
