The Art of Logical Thinking: Warrior Mind Podcast #205

This Warrior Mind Podcast – Logical Thinking – is based on the post “Critical Thinking and Personal Success.”    

The purpose of this Warrior Mind Podcast is to help you make the distinction between the five levels of thinking and to embrace the highest level which is logical thinking.

The obvious place to start discussing logical thinking is to talk about thinking itself. What is it? Can we get better at it?

There are lots of ways of thinking about thinking!! Sometimes thinking is an unconscious act. Have you ever solved a problem in your sleep? Have you ever set a problem aside only to find that the solution presents itself to you in the middle of a meeting? Thinking isn’t always verbal. Sometimes we think in images instead of words. What about your dreams? Is that a form of thinking?

Vincent Ruggiero has developed a more formal definition for thinking that we can use in the context of academics. In The Art of Thinking, he writes “Thinking is any mental activity that helps formulate or solve a problem, make a decision, or fulfill a desire to understand.

It is a searching for answers, a reaching for meaning.” He reminds us that the mind engages in all sorts of processes in support of thinking:

  • Careful observation
  • Memorizing
  • Remembering
  • Wondering
  • Imagining
  • Inquiring
  • Evaluating
  • Judging

Enjoy This Warrior Mind Podcast on Logical Thinking

Logical thinking! You might have heard that phrase a couple of times before, but do you really know what it implies? Logical thinking is to think on the basis of knowledge, what we know, and certainties, what we can prove.

The past two centuries have witnessed an unparalleled reliance on the logical approach to thinking. It is the basis on which modern technology is founded. But the flaw in logical thinking is that it relies on the conscious brain and this is the most limited and vulnerable part of our thinking.

Left-Brain = Logical Thinking

Logical thinking is the part of the brain that relates to its left-hand side (“l” for “left” and “l” for “logical”). It was Professor Roger Sperry of the University of California who discovered that different sides of the brain were responsible for different functions. He discovered that the left-brain…

  • Governs the right side of the body
  • Governs the right field of vision
  • Deals with input sequentially
  • Perceives the parts more than the whole
  • Perceives time
  • Is the seat of verbal skills
  • Is the seat of logical and analytical thinking
  • Sets goals, plans and reviews: the managerial mind
  • Formulates evocative language

The left side of the brain is the chattering mind, thriving on, but limited by, information which produces logical thinking.
