Of course, we're not among them--are we?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Scientist David Robert Grimes is on a mission to expose the logical fallacies and cognitive biases that drive our discourse on a dizzying array of topics-from vaccination to abortion, 9\/11 conspiracy theories to dictatorial doublespeak, astrology to alternative medicine, and wrongful convictions to racism. But his purpose in \u003ci\u003eGood Thinking\u003c\/i\u003e isn't to shame or place blame. Rather, it's to interrogate our own assumptions-to develop our eye for the glimmer of truth in a vast sea of dubious sources-in short, to \u003ci\u003ethink critically\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Grimes's expert takedown of irrationality is required reading for anyone wondering why bad thinking persists and how we can defeat it. Ultimately, no one changes anyone else's mind; we can only change our own-and give others the tools to do the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Robert Grimes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1615197931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781615197934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Experiment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.50w x 1.10d","brand":"David Robert Grimes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052133806335,"sku":"9781615197934","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d97731b2-3b4e-46e2-ad8d-ed4faff159f1.jpg?v=1685017135","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/good-thinking-david-robert-grimes-9781615197934","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
