About this episode

Michael Coleman reflects on a transformative book from his youth that shaped his understanding of logic and critical thinking.

In this episode of The Coleman Nation, I go back to a life-changing summer from my teenage years and share how one powerful book—The Thinking Book—taught me the foundations of logic, critical thinking, and decision-making. Whether you're trying to make better life choices, raise smarter kids, or navigate the media chaos, this episode is packed with tools to sharpen your mind. We break down the five primary illogics that cause bad thinking—and the five logics that support sound decisions. I also share how mastering these ideas helped me win debates, challenge authority (constructively!), and become a sharper communicator in all areas of life. Grab a notebook, because this one's a thinker. Get The Thinking Book (by Heron Books) #TheColemanNation #CriticalThinking #Logic #Sanity #HomeschoolingTools #MediaLiteracy
