Sinopse

Brought to you by Penguin.

A ground-breaking book that reveals why our human biases effect the way we receive and interpret information

Our lives are minefields of misinformation. Stories, statistics and studies lie to us on a daily basis. Not only this but, as Professor Alex Edmans reveals, our brains lie to us too. He argues that we need to acknowledge and understand the role that our own human biases play in interpreting and digesting the information that we consume. It's only when we do, that we can actively resist being manipulated, and make informed decisions that improve our lives.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Resumo da Crítica

A powerful and punchy explanation of why misinformation is a problem that affects us all - be that in finance, politics, media, business or anywhere else. Edmans offers clear ideas about how to counter this, not just in our own lives but also across society as a whole. Timely and very provocative! (Gillian Tett)
A masterpiece! A must-read book that is both a delight to consume and sure to improve the quality of your thinking’ (Katy Milkman)
Mass disinformation and poor understanding of basic statistics are the hallmarks of our 'information age'. Alex Edmans’ book is the much-needed antidote (Vaclav Smil)
Brilliantly researched and written [and] immensely practical in helping guide us through this thicket of (mis)information … I am already drawing on its insights in my everyday decision-making (Andy Haldane)
A passionate and dispassionate call to truth – and how to achieve it - in a world of growing disinformation in which truth and common ground are the casualties (Will Hutton)
A fascinating account of how to navigate through lies and misleading statistics to arrive at a reasonable approximation of the truth. A valuable aid to make sense of our confusing world (Raghuram G. Rajan)
A hard-hitting book with some great stories (Andrew Gelman)
