Never Take The Easy Side

by Pravin Salkade

Critical Thinking & Decision-Making

It is always easier to accept the first opinion that confirms what you already believe. This book builds the habit of examining both sides of an argument before forming a judgment, using real-world examples and classroom-tested exercises.

What you'll learn:

  • A framework for weighing opposing viewpoints fairly
  • Real-world case studies where the easy answer was the wrong one
  • Techniques for spotting one-sided reasoning in media and conversation
  • Exercises for practising balanced, evidence-based opinions
  • How this thinking skill directly improves IELTS and PTE argumentative writing

Who it's for: Students and young adults navigating peer pressure, social media, and misinformation who want a structured way to weigh both sides of an argument.

Available internationally through Amazon and selected booksellers. Availability, format and delivery options vary by country.
