How does one acquire a logical mind? Lewis Carroll himself suggested a formula: first, feed your mind (directly through experience, indirectly through books); second, exercise your mind, insisting that it weigh, digest, and categorize all that it takes in. If you exercise it without feeding it, you will have a SKINNY mind - one that is agile enough but has nothing to work with - and nowhere to go. If you feed it without exercising it, you will end up with a FAT mind. And that is an even more horrible fate. To avoid having a fat mind, subject your mind to mental gymnastics and to a vigorous training program. This five-step formula should help: 1) Know the facts available, 2) Weigh them, 3) Analyze them, 4) Consider the variables, 5) Draw a conclusion. If you follow this formula seriously and often, you will soon learn to think logically - and to write logically. Before you can write, you must THINK! This workbook is designed to help you on your journey, offering page after page of exercises and puzzles, all created to help train your mind by strengthening your thinking muscles!
