But minds are more than simple memory receptors. Healthy minds think clearly and seek to understand the world in ways that lead to happier and fuller lives. To that end, there are tools here to assist you in questioning your belief systems and, just as importantly, the belief systems others may try to thrust on you. You will examine habitual thought patterns, learn to make new ones, and discover how to face your fears so you can prevent them from inhibiting you.

On top of all this, there are tools to support you in controlling your thoughts and retaining what you learn, beginning with writing book reviews, which can help you find clarity about what you’ve read and remember the information better.
