《学会提问(原书第12版)》内容简介

　　如果你所在城市的地铁因为安全因素升级了安检程序，你会积极配合还是消极抵触？如果你喜欢的一位明星或KOL热情地向你推荐一款产品，你会立即下单还是深思熟虑?如果你的老板要求和鼓励你"996"甚至"007"，你会配合还是拒绝？......

　　我们生活在嘈杂、喧嚣和不确定的世界里，每时每刻都被泛滥的信息所包围，大到世界经济发展的趋势，小到个人生活的决策，面对别人和媒体兜售的观点，如果你缺乏独立思考和判断，就只能全盘接受--他们热衷于让你相信这是"事实"，但所说的话往往真假参半。你明明觉得有什么不对劲，可一时又很难找到突破口反驳。

　　即使专家说得再动听，也不一定靠谱，我们有必要依靠自己的大脑，不草率、不盲从，不为感性和无事实根据的传闻所左右。本书将帮助我们有意识地学习和运用批判性思维，提出批判性问题，对问题深思熟虑，尽力理解那些价值观和我们背道而驰的人的分析推理方式，克服偏见对判断的影响，这样才有可能得出更为正确、理性的结论。

　　当你能够坦然面对立场和你完全相左的意见，理性判断而不会党同伐异时，当你面对提问和质疑，有能力组织更多确凿的证据支持自己的观点，而不只把声高当有理，或认为别人是没事找茬，有意和自己过不去时，当你能够在对话和辩论中拨开迷雾，识别出对方的逻辑谬误和情感操纵时，世界在你眼中将变得更加有趣、开阔和坚定。

Learn to Ask Questions (the 12th edition of the original book)

If the subway in your city upgraded its security procedures for safety reasons, would you actively cooperate or passively resist? If a star or KOL you like enthusiastically recommends a product to you, do you order it immediately or do you think it through? If your boss asked and encouraged you to "996" or even "007", would you cooperate or refuse? ...

We live in a noisy, noisy and uncertain world, surrounded by a plethora of information all the time, from the trends of world economic development to the small decisions of personal life, in the face of opinions sold by others and the media, if you lack independent thinking and judgment, you can only accept it as a whole - they are keen to make you believe that it is "the truth", but what they say is often true and false. You clearly think something is wrong, but you can't find a breakthrough to refute it.

Even if the experts say no matter how beautiful, it is not necessarily reliable, we need to rely on their own brains, not hasty, not blindly, not emotional and unfounded rumors. This book will help us to consciously learn and use critical thinking, to ask critical questions, to think carefully about issues, to try to understand the analytical reasoning of those whose values are contrary to our own, and to overcome the influence of bias on judgment, so that we can reach more correct and rational conclusions.

When you can calmly face opinions that are completely different from your position, make rational judgments without being partisan, when you face questions and doubts, and have the ability to organize more solid evidence to support your own views, rather than just taking the voice as reasonable, or thinking that others are not looking for problems, intentionally making trouble with yourself, when you can clear the fog in dialogue and debate, When you recognize the other person's logical fallacies and emotional manipulation, the world becomes more interesting, open, and determined in your eyes.
