Critical Thinking: A Strategic Guide to Personal Development is a comprehensive self-help textbook conceptually designed to dramatically improve the quality of an individual's thoughts. This theoretical construct travels infinitely beyond the conventional method of using cliché terms, regurgitating unimaginative expressions, and spouting platitudes. Instead, we provide an in-depth, profound exploration into an array of aspects regarding the self as it relates to society.
This dynamic and innovative approach to personal development integrates three distinct disciplines to explain the HOW and—more importantly—the WHY behind self-enhancement and self-improvement. Through incorporating the underlying Sociological, Psychological, and Philosophical factors governing society, readers will gain access to the insightful blueprint necessary to protect themselves from the psychological warfare the masses are regularly exposed to and subjected to.
Additionally, this encyclopedic road map to personal empowerment features—thought-provoking—conceptual expansion questions designed to stimulate and inspire outside-the-box reasoning to form logical conclusions. Free your mind from the veiled shackles society has subconsciously placed on it by deciphering and dismantling the invisible tactics used to divide and conquer through self-subjugation.
Boundaries are self-imposed, and we hold the key to our own salvation. Become an independent, FREE-thinker through Critical Thinking: A Strategic Guide to Personal Development

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
