Think It Over: How to Use Critical Thinking to Avoid Falsity and Failure de David Goetsch

Think It Over: How to Use Critical Thinking to Avoid Falsity and Failure

Autor David Goetsch, Oliver L. North
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 mai 2024
In the past, one of the most cherished American values was the truth. When people dealt with dilemmas, issues, opinions, and decisions, their first question was " What is the truth in this situation?" Now people are concerned only with what they think, feel, and want. We have lost touch with the importance of truth in our lives. This reality has resulted in a society in abject turmoil and confusion. Perhaps the greatest failure of the American school system is in turning out generations without the ability to carefully think through what they see, read, and hear. This book is the path for our return to truth.

Oliver North is a combat decorated U.S. Marine, #1 best-selling author, founder of a small business and holder of three U.S. patents. For seventeen years he was a syndicated columnist and host of War Stories on FOX News Channel. In May 2018, he retired from FOX News to serve as the 66th president of the National Rifle Association of America. North was born in San Antonio, Texas in 1943, graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1968 and served twenty-two years as a U.S. Marine. His awards for service in combat include the Silver Star, the Bronze Star for valor, and two Purple Hearts for wounds in action. From 1983-86 he served as Counter-Terrorism Coordinator on the National Security Council staff. He helped plan the rescue of U.S. students on Grenada, the liberation of American hostages, the capture of the Achille Lauro hijackers and the raids on Muammar Gadhafi's terror bases; after which he was targeted for assassination by Abu Nidal's Islamic Jihad. President Ronald Reagan described him as "an American hero." North has authored nineteen best-selling books and is co-founder of Freedom Alliance, an organization serving wounded U.S. military personnel and their families. He is widely acclaimed for award-winning FOX News coverage of more than sixty U.S. units in combat and his Freedom Alliance "Heroes College Scholarships" for children of service members killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. He hosts a highly popular podcast on his YouTube channel, Oliver North's Real American Heroes and is the founder and CEO of Fidelis Publishing and Fidelis media. Yet, North says his greatest achievement is being, "the God-fearing husband of one, father of four, and grandfather of eighteen." LtCol North and his wife, Betsy, live in Virginia. In November 2023 they will celebrate their 55th anniversary.
