What to include? Hmm.

For 53 years I taught critical thinking to undergraduates at a state university. I have a Ph.D. in Economics and a J.D.; both globs of training I am sure affect my blind spots and any insights that might creep into what I say. I have co-authored 64 books, many of them in multiple editions. The most successful of the lot, Asking the Right Questions: A Guide to Critical Thinking is in 12 editions and 16 languages. Its success led to dozens of consulting activities with government agencies, corporations and univrsities, including the National Security Agency, 3 of the Military Academies, dozens of universities, Toyota Pacific, and the Social Security Administration. In addition, I have had the privilege of keynoting International Critical Thinking Confernces on 4 continents.

In 2023 I am publishing 2 new books:

A Healthy Democracy’s Best Hope: Developing the Critical Thinking Habit

FRIENDLY Critical Thinking: Harnessing Questions to Teach and LEARN

Nancy (wife) and I travel extensively and are active participants in the Senior Olympics, dance festivals, songwriters’ conventions, tennis, and fishing. We only reluctantly are unable to attend every International Film Festival.
