Thank you everyone for your suggestions and comments! I will look into all the book suggestions. I have read Stuart Sutherland's book which was fascinating. When I meant critical thinking, I meant thinking about every topic and not just health or medicine. How can we convey the importance of critical thinking, how to use critical thinking and how to apply it in your life? I teach Exercise Physiology. I try to give them examples of the mistakes we made in medicine and how an EBM approach evolved. I try to explain what is the problem with anecdotes and the biases and heuristics we use to make decisions. What favorite examples or strategies do you use to really make them understand the power of critical thinking in in walks of your life? And Amy when I compared EBM to a checklist, I was never meaning to talk down EBM. In fact, I was merely suggesting that EBM is simply critical thinking at its best.
