This highly popular updated text helps bridge the gap between simply memorizing or blindly accepting information, and the greater challenge of critical analysis and synthesis.

Rated by buyers -
This book is extremely helpful at opening up ones mind to alternatives by asking questions. Not just a few questions, but question everything. Questioning leads to knowledge, and knowledge leads to wisdom.
Asking the right questions encourages a curious and open mind, analyzing issues from multiple viewpoints, thinking through questions and answers, doing needed investigation and intuitive and non-intuitive thinking. These key elements are the basis to sound critical thinking.
Asking the Right Questions has been around for many years and is still doing well. This says a lot for how many people have benefited from it. It is currently on the 8th edition. I read the 7th edition which came out in 2004. I liked the comment from the authors at the end of the preface which says they are constantly improving the book using advice and recommendations from students and others to make it better. Practicing what one preaches is an excellent sign of quality.
Since the book is constantly undergoing improvements, it is recommended to invest the extra money to buy the latest and greatest. Knowledge is tough to put a price on. The book is currently on the 8th edition.
