Critical thinking is regularly cited as an essential 21st century skill, the key to success in school and work. Given our propensity to believe fake news, draw incorrect conclusions, and make decisions based on emotion rather than reason, it might even be said that critical thinking is vital to the survival of a democratic society. But what, exactly, is critical thinking? Haber describes the term's origins in such disciplines as philosophy, psychology, and science.

What exactly is a Money Mind? At one level, it's a way of thinking about major financial issues such as capital allocation. At another level, it summarizes an overall mindset for successfully investing in today's fast-paced stock market, a mindset that depends on a commitment to learning, adapting, and facing down irrelevant noise. This is not a method book. It is a thinking book. Warren Buffett: Inside the Ultimate Money Mind explains the philosophies of self-reliance, stoicism, rationalism, and pragmatism and their contributions to making intelligent investment decisions.

Redefines Success Beyond Degrees
As a professor and lifelong advocate of education, I deeply value the transformative power of learning. However, The Degree Myth presents a compelling, forward-thinking perspective on how success can be achieved beyond the traditional college path. This book is an invaluable resource for young adults navigating their futures, offering practical alternatives to the degree-driven model that often comes with overwhelming debt.
The author masterfully highlights diverse paths to success, from high-paying trades to entrepreneurship and global opportunities. The emphasis on skills, technological expertise, and real-world experience provides a refreshing and realistic approach for those seeking to carve their unique career paths.
I wholeheartedly support the book’s message of informed decision-making. Education is lifelong, and this resource empowers readers to pursue their goals with confidence and creativity, redefining success in a modern, accessible way. Highly recommended for anyone ready to explore a fulfilling future without the constraints of a traditional degree.

Success is possible without a degree!
This is an eye-opening book as it breaks away from traditional thinking and generational trends. In today's world, which is technology dependent and global opportunities in the digital world, former "college" training may not be relevant for success. No longer are you defined by letters after your name, but more on what difference you have made in the world and how you have monetized your life to thrive. With college costs continuously rising and aid continuously diminishing, this is something to consider. Good read!
