[Düşün! Bir de Sağlıklı Düşün]
Dr. Yasin Ramazan Başaran
What is thinking? Are we subject to our thoughts, which shape our lives, at random? Or is thinking something that can be educated, developed and strengthened? What is knowledge, what is information, what is assumption? What is truth, what is imagination? This book was written to seek answers to these questions. Healthy thinking means that individuals live their lives sensibly and give meaning to their lives.
A sensible person:
Discovers the truth through research.
Avoids making definitive judgements on every subject.
Resists the tendency to make unsupported generalisations.
They are aware that what is true is not necessarily right, and what is wrong is not necessarily false, simply because they want it to be so. For this reason, even if they are afraid or anxious, they face the facts.
Knowing that the source of truth is not themselves, they do not shy away from communicating with others, listening to them, and learning from them.
They do not deny their feelings; they think about the reasons behind them because they know that they arise for a reason.
With the hope that this book, which embraces the idea of developing awareness of healthy thinking, will open up a bright path in the reader's mind...
