Listen Later

Critical thinking isn’t just smart — it’s kind. In this episode of The Kindness Extremist Podcast, Shola Richards reveals why sharpening your critical thinking skills is one of the most powerful ways to create connection and compassion, and eventually, a kinder world.

 

You’ll discover:

  • Why intellectual humility is the foundation of better conversations and relationships
  • How to perform an “Assumption Audit” and uncover the hidden beliefs shaping your worldview
  • 5 common logical fallacies that derail dialogue, and how to spot them in yourself before anyone else

 

The 3 practical weekly strategies for the week are: 

Daily Doubt Practice

📋 Assumption Audit 

📓 Fallacy Journal

 

Critical thinking isn’t about “winning” arguments. It’s about building better relationships, communicating with clarity, and staying open enough to learn and grow, even when the world pushes us toward certainty and division.
