Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

Always check the premises. The premise "Nobody in the world today is really happy" appears false on its face. For exampe, I'm happy and I know many other happy people. |

It's a non sequitur. Just because no one is happy at the moment, doesn't mean it is not in human nature to have happiness - nor does it mean humans cannot be truly happy. |
