Generally, there is no "all in one" way of doing it. Generally active reading and checking the facts and primary sources will get you far. I don't think there is any substitute for reading lots and from diverse sources. Four books that helped me along the way are: How to Read a Book by Mortimer Adler The Book of Fallacies by Jeremy Bentham (alternatively, I enjoyed Logically Fallacious by Bo Bennet, and it fills the same niche) Trust Me - I'm Lying by Ryan Holiday Asking the Right Questions by Browne, Keil I hope that was helpful!
