How do you avoid being convinced by every philosophy book you read?

I find it hard to not being convinced when I’m introduced to a new philosopher idea, even more if it is about a subject I don’t know much or if it’s really complicated or if it is hard to read. How do you usually approach this new ideas and how do you avoid being too closed or too gullible to them? Is this a common thing?

Good philosophy has the effect of being convincing. If you feel like you're too convinced by an author and you want to know more about whether or not they're right/if you should feel so convinced, try to find criticisms of the author's position(s)
