review 1: I agree with a fellow reviewer: weak sauce! :)Frankly, Harrison PADS the book with a lot of inane pep talk. Only chapter 2 gives good research/info...the other chapters are fluff.Harrison seems overly fixated on "kooky" beliefs (UFOs, alien abduction, ghosts, etc...)...why not tackle global warming, Obama's supposed Muslim agenda, etc...trying to outwit people who believe in ghosts and astrology is interesting...but it isn't NECESSARY...nor is it COMPELLING. I really enjoyed chapter two for the great research based info on the issues with memory.
review 2: I was disappointed with this book. I was expecting a more advanced book. The information in the book is very basic. I learned this in a general science course in high school. Harrison claims that too m... moreany people accept information without examining it critically. He discusses alien abduction, miracles, Bigfoot, conspiracy theories, pseudoscience and fallacies and explains why we should ask questions and be skeptical. He does provide a few useful tools to analyze a claim but mostly he list things to be suspicious of. The book is short, entertaining easy read but provides no new information. The book primarily is about being a skeptic not about critical thinking. I read this book as an audio book downloaded from Audible. George Newbern did a good job narrating the book. less
