THE WORLD LEADER IN CRITICAL THINKING SCIENCE
One simple question:
How would better thinking improve your life?

“Our mission is simple: to teach people to think critically so that they can change their lives, and then change the world.”
Steve Pearlman, Ph.D.

Brighter Minds Better Futures
Brighter Minds, Better Futures offers a year of weekly 5-10 minutes lessons that your children can immediately apply in their lives.
In these fun videos, they will be guided by friendly cartoon hosts who will teach them to make better decisions, help them create advanced and more meaningful learning strategies and how to better control their emotions.
They will learn to be more independent and self-reliant, craft advanced reading and writing skills, and a host of other practical, instantly usable thinking skills.

Critical Thinking Mastery
Our course for teenagers and adults builds the foundation for critical thinking in everyday situations.
You will learn to understand how your brain thinks and why, how to decode how other people’s brains think, and why they do the things they do and to become a recognized thinking expert among your peers.
Critical Thinking is the key to exercising stronger evidence and logic, innovating and “ideating” new ideas and solutions and offers practical solutions that will help you in everyday life, in business and in education.

"Dr. Pearlman’s revolutionary methods for teaching critical thinking finally make advanced thinking skills available to everyone in the world.”
