The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

How to Know What's Really Real in a World Increasingly Full of Fake

De: Steven Novella

Narrado por: Steven Novella

The must-read book from the creators of The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe podcast - perfect for fans of The Art of Thinking Clearly and Factfulness (and all aspiring skeptics)

This book will change the way you think about thinking. It will change how you think about the world.
-----

Join Steven Novella and 'Skeptical Rogues' Bob Novella, Cara Santa Maria, Jay Novella and Evan Bernstein as they explain the tenets of skeptical thinking and use them to debunk some of the biggest scientific myths, fallacies and conspiracy theories (anti-vaccines, homeopathy, UFO sightings, and many more) in this explosive book.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe is the must-have guide to understanding how you think, and how you can think more critically about yourself and the world around you. It explains the difference between science and pseudoscience, how to recognise common science news tropes, how to discuss conspiracy theories with that blinkered colleague of yours, and how to apply this to make your life better.

As fascinating as it is entertaining, this page-turner is your essential guide to seeing through the fake news and media manipulation in our increasingly confusing world.

Your escape to reality

It was great and a pleasure to listen to. Steve Novella is a great reader and I always love to listen to the podcast as well. Long time listener and this book was long overdue.

Listen to it, Listen to it again,

This is one of the most accessible and well-framed books on skeptical and critical thinking that I have read/listened to, With practical and funny examples of everything from the fundamental flaws in our memory to conspiratorial thinking. Really a great book, enjoyed it thoroughly.

awesome book.

This is an excellent guide to scientific skepticism. a lot of chapters covering all kinds of phenomena. Great listen.
Dosn't matter whether you're a skeptic or not.

Concise and clear, but not much new for an SGU fan

Loved it, but couldn't help thinking that this is the book that OTHER people should read. Preaching to the choir a bit.
