Ena,
I found journalling everyday and reading philosophy books helped a lot. It helps you to structure the thoughts and poke holes in your pattern and thinking. There are also podcasts like this - https://www.intelligencesquaredus.org/
There are also good courses online like this: https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-to-philosophy-god-knowledge-and-con-2
Hope this helps!

PwC’s Answer
- Make it a habit to ask why and how. Don't be satisfied with the answers given. Go beyond and anticipate a few steps beyond the current question/issue.
- Asking questions is the best way to build critical thinking skills. Explore other perspectives, ask people how they came to a conclusion or just ask yourself if there’s anything you haven’t considered.
- Read the paper in print daily, picking one topic on which to go deeper.
- By keeping myself current in latest developments, learning through PwC courses, materials and TL but also listening to podcasts and reading articles.
- I would ask others to brainstorm with you on an issue. That way you can learn from others and start thinking this way on your own.

Hi Ena,
You can practice Critical Thinking with your daily choices. For instance, deciding what to eat or which chore to do next might seem simple, but these decisions help you understand how Critical Thinking works. It's not just about choosing; it's about understanding the situation and how your decision affects your time and life.
Here are a few tips that have helped me:
1. Ask lots of questions to get a clear picture of the situation. Talk to someone with more experience or look up information from different sources like books or online articles.
2. Understand the problem. Figure out why it happened, how it happened, and what you need to do to fix it.
3. Think creatively about possible outcomes. Consider not just the negative results, but also the positive ones. This can help you find the best solution.
4. Don’t worry if you don’t always have the perfect answer. When I started, I knew very little, but asking questions helped me learn and improve my Critical Thinking skills.
I hope these tips help you out!

Hi Ena:
Critical thinking is something that you will have to practice. The theory classes that you are taking will probably assist with this. One of the things that you have to do is: "think outside of the box". You have to be able to look at a problem and be able to identify different avenues that can be taken to solve it. A lot of critical thinking comes from experience and learning what to look for. Continuing on with your education is an excellent way to hone your skills. In addition, research is key when trying to be a critical thinker.
When asking about critical thinking, I often share this article with my employees so that they can get an idea of what they should be doing. Main advice, continue on with your education and research. Only then can you become very skilled in this topice.
