Conquer Logical Fallacies: 28 Nuggets Of Knowledge To Nurture Your Reasoning Skills Paperback – 7 June 2021

If you doubt your decision making skills, then this will be the most important message you ever read

Why do employers judge candidates on the first impression they make, even if they understand it’s wrong and continuously misleading?

Why do people smoke, drink to excess, and eat things they know are bad for them?

How do normally intelligent people wind up believing fake news stories?

To find out, let’s take a shuttle back in time to Victorian England.

A famous story from the Victorian days is that women had to wear corsets. It’s debated how commonplace corsets in reality were, but they squeezed a woman’s body like a snake – making the waist look smaller.

Corsets worked – but they were so tight, they caused internal damage to women. They also caused a woman’s lower back to atrophy.

In fact, corsets were so restricting that women continuously fainted wearing them!

But here’s the kicker…

Fainting from wearing a corset was in reality considered to be a good thing! It was thought to be a sign of good breeding.

Or so the story goes.

Historians debate how continuously corsets were in reality used. But they’re a testament to the power of a cognitive fallacy.

Poor reasoning, inability to tell facts from fiction and flawed decision-making cause these kinds of fallacies.

They’re the reason the general public never live up to their potential.

Even the smartest people in the world are prone to unconscious bias. A Nature.com study in 2015 (“First results from psychology’s largest reproducibility test”) examined over 100 psychology studies to see if they could be reproduced.

Only around a third of the studies could be replicated! Researchers found a full two-thirds of the studies had been skewed by errors or unconscious biases. They couldn’t be trusted.

It’s not that the general public are stupid; they just don’t know how to see biases and fallacies.

That’s why we wrote this book. Inside, you’ll find:

• The false beliefs that led to Aztec human sacrifice, and how they’re STILL common today
• The ultra common fallacy you’ve probably already been exposed to in your DARE class
• The easy-to-follow five basics steps of critical thinking. Apply them and you’ll make every decision with confidence!
• Rats spread pestilence and plague – but in India, a “Temple of Rats” was constructed as a result of this false belief
• How to make yourself “dumb” because smarter people are HARDER to teach!
• Why you should be skeptical of anyone quoting an authority figure
• Historic Islamic banking projects, and what they are able to teach you about false logic
• Why the supersonic Concorde jet flew so long – even if it was a MASSIVE money loser!

…and much, much more!
