Now everywhere: from commercials and conversations with friends to declarations of public figures and scientific articles - you can find obviously false, distorted or unverified information. We consume it more and more, thinking little about reliability simply because it is easier.
John V. Petrocelli, a social psychologist and a professor of psychology at the University of Wake Forest founded a laboratory for a study of a nonsense to understand that he encourages a person to appeal to dubious data and mislead other people. He found the answer to this question thanks to the controlled experiments and communication with leading specialists in various fields - from financial analyst to the car enthusiast - and deduced recommendations on how not to become a sacrifice of a nonsense (not only its receiver, but also a distributor).
This book will help you form a habit of constructively evaluate everything that you hear and speak, find the truth in information chaos, will teach to communicate with people who are impossible in anything
