I was just reading a book on critical thinking, "Hoaxes, Myths and Manias," by Robert Bartholomew and Benjamin Radford, that lists the most important elements of learning how to think critically:
 
1. Ask questions; be willing to wonder.
 
2. Define your problem correctly.
 
3. Examine the evidence.
 
4. Analyze assumptions and biases.
 
5. Avoid emotional reasoning.
 
6. Don't oversimplify.
 
7. Consider other interpretations
 
8. Tolerate uncertainty.
