Deep. Practical. Effective. Valuable.

Whether your needs are corporate, group, or personal, I can help you or your team think better and be more logical to communicate better, make better quality and more-informed decisions, and be more productive, efficient, and effective.

“Michael introduced me to thinking about problems as a whole and inductively (a thought process which has helped in every form of learning). To this day, 7 years later, I still use this method to help me solve problems and learn, in work and in life, more effectively. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to improve their ability to problem-solve and appreciate learning.” —Joseph S

“It’s pretty useful at work when I use reasoning to find root causes and to find and fix problems. Yes, you do teach people how to think.” —Dylan T

We have deficiencies in the culture and educational system: we are not learning to think to our full potential so we can thrive. We need logic. We need epistemology.

“Science students learned the facts of their specific field without understanding how science should work in order to draw true conclusions.’ — David Epstein, Range: How Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World

“Part of the problem, [Arturo Casadevall] argued, is that young scientists are rushed to specialize before they learn how to think. They end up unable to produce good work themselves and unequipped to spot bad or fraudulent work by their colleagues.” — Range: How Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David Epstein

“Few [scientists] are philosophers. Most are intellectual journeyman, exploring locally, hoping for a strike, living for the present.” —E.O. Wilson, Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge

In this podcast, Michael and his co-host Melanie join teacher Scott Harris to discuss science education and how to fix it:

Whatever your background — parent, student, business professional with an advanced education and decades of experience, high school or college grad with or without honors and accolades, professional or worker with only an elementary school formal education, scientist, medical doctor — I can help you write better, be more creative, think more scientifically, and think with more ease.

If your needs are corporate or business, I can give you tools to help you understand your market better, take care of and work with your clients better, and work better with your team. Save time. Save money.

“Michael provokes and encourages logical, rational thinking that you will use beyond your time with him. He helped me develop critical thinking that immensely benefited me. He will teach you how to deconstruct complex problems and come to a decision yourself.” —Jacob L

“[E]ducators at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health assert that memorization alone does not a scientist make — above all, students must be critical, creative thinkers who are honest and responsible with data. In order to train scientists as critical thinkers, the R3 Graduate Science Initiative was recently created in the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology (MMI), led by director Gundula Bosch, Ph.D.” –“Revolutionizing with R3: A New Ph.D. Program Seeks To Train Scientists As Critical Thinkers” by Rachel Evans

The sooner you start, the sooner you can be more profitable, successful, efficient, and effective. And the sooner you start, the more time you and your team have in life to master thinking, logic, and reasoning — the more time you have to make more of it, to enjoy the benefits, and to help others do the same.

“With each lesson I learned how to better think logically, carefully and reasonably. These skills are essential to life and have helped me immensely — I used the learning/study methods I developed through Gold’s lessons to earn top scores in many college courses and to do well in my work and hobbies. And I continue to use those skills.

“I will forever be grateful to Gold Academy, and highly recommend the service to any student who is looking to start learning, thinking and living.” —Rajiv R

I teach you skills that are at the root of thinking. My study of philosophy, logic, and the history of science — combined with decades of experience teaching and learning and living — allow me to cut through the clutter and errors that confuse others about thinking and logic.

Yes, some other courses have value and should be utilized. Critical thinking. Strategic thinking. Some brain training.

But I get to the essence and fundamentals of thought, helping you in a way other courses do not, and helping you make the most of the skills you learn elsewhere.

We will not waste time on unproven or false ideas about learning — some of which are errors dressed up in scientific clothing.

You will learn skills of thought and logic that were utilized by the great minds of history, and that are timeless, fundamental functions of human cognition. They have proven value.

We will dig into the essence of thinking skills by investigating such things as the nature of concepts, how we form them, what it really is to understand something, how thinking can be driven by asking and answering questions, the importance of logical classification, what grammar is and why it’s important, what definition is, how to form definitions, what induction is, and how to form generalizations.

I offer an uncommon and unparalleled training in practical skills of logical thinking that will help you thrive and do your best at work and in life.
