How to Analyze Information - A Step-by-step Guide to Life's Most Vital Skill by Herbert Meyer

We are living now through the early decades of the Information Revolution, and it’s a
miracle of human energy and ingenuity. Never before has so much information been
available, so easily and inexpensively, about so many subjects.

And the most important thing we’ve learned is that information is like water. It’s vital
to our lives; we cannot survive without it. But if too much pours over us – we drown.
To keep from drowning in information we must learn to use it properly, which means
figuring out what the information is telling us. After all, it isn’t the information itself
we use to make decisions; it’s the knowledge within the information that we use.
This is why we must learn how to analyze information – how to determine just what
information we need to make the decisions we face, how to get that information, and
then – this is the most crucial step of all -- how to reach inside this information to grasp
the knowledge it contains.

Kim, You are a man after my own heart re:learning how to THINK for yourself. I downloaded (and have read more than once) this article about 2 years ago. My hope is that, now that you have mentioned it recently on your broadcast, more people will do the same. Then, we can begin to have REAL dialogue. God bless you, sir..
