In this episode of the Therapists' Take Podcast, hosts Carrie and Josh dive into the world of critical thinking and logical fallacies, drawing inspiration from Adam Grant's work on the Hierarchy of Critical Thinking.
Critical thinking is the ability to objectively analyze and evaluate an issue in order to form a judgment. It’s a crucial skill in our increasingly complex world, helping us to make informed decisions and avoid being misled. But even the best critical thinkers can fall victim to logical fallacies—errors in reasoning that can undermine an argument.
Join us as we break down three common logical fallacies:
1. Anecdotal Fallacy: Relying on personal experiences or isolated examples instead of sound evidence to support a claim.
2. Tu Quoque Fallacy: Deflecting criticism by pointing out flaws in the critic, rather than addressing the argument itself.
3. Either/Or Fallacy: Oversimplifying a situation by presenting only two extreme options when, in reality, more possibilities exist.
Understanding these fallacies is key to sharpening your critical thinking skills and making more rational decisions in both personal and professional life.
Tune in to learn how to spot these fallacies in everyday conversations, and strengthen your ability to think critically. Don’t miss this essential episode for anyone looking to enhance their reasoning skills and engage in more meaningful discussions.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
