One branch of philosophy is "Logic". Logic means "a system of reasoning" or "the branch of philosophy that deals with the theory of reasoning and aims to distinguish good from bad reasoning." Unfortunately the subject of logic has become overly complicated and has been made rather esoteric by modern philosophers. They've taken a very practical subject and made it into something only philosopher would be interested in.
L. Ron Hubbard approached the subject of Logic from a completely practical viewpoint. He wanted to investigate something (initially the subject of man and his spiritual nature) and come up with answers that would lead to improvements in the lot of man. So in 1951 he wrote down what he used and this became The Logics. These are a method of thinking and could be called "how to think". They begin by defining knowledge and how to define the terms used in any area of knowledge, then they move into the field of analyzing and evaluating data, resolving problems and end with a method to resolve the broad activities of man.
