"It is intimidating to realize that we live in a world overflowing with misinformation, bias, myths, deception, and flawed knowledge. There really are no ultimate authority figures--no one has the secret, and there is no place to look up the definitive answers to our questions (not even Google). Luckily, THE SKEPTICS' GUIDE TO THE UNIVERSE is your map through this maze of modern life. Here Dr. Steven Novella--along with Bob Novella, Cara Santa Maria, Jay Novella, and Evan Bernstein--will explain the tenets of skeptical thinking and debunk some of the biggest scientific myths, fallacies, and conspiracy theories--from anti-vaccines to homeopathy, UFO sightings to N-rays. You'll learn the difference between science and pseudoscience, essential critical thinking skills, ways to discuss conspiracy theories with that crazy co-worker of yours, and how to combat sloppy reasoning, bad arguments, and superstitious thinking.

The Skeptics Guide to the Universe turned out to be the perfect follow-up to Carl Sagan’s [book:The Demon-Haunted World|17349], which I read earlier this year. Both books focus on providing the reader with the tools to sort out what’s real from all the scams, hoaxes, and pseudoscienece arround us. Where this one does it a little better is in the section that describes the different types of logical fallacies. Also, since it was published in 2018, the examples it uses are more up to date. To anyone trying to decide which of the two to read, I'd have to say both and I don't think it matters in what order. ( )

Preaching to the choir. That being said, it was enlightening to see this process broken down and explained. Couldn’t have been better timed with all the madness we’ve seen during Covid. This should be required reading while people are still young enough for this book to make an impression on them. The world would be a much better place. ( )

An excellent resource. Having listened to the podcast for more than ten years, I've heard all of these points before, but having it all collected, organised, and focused means the message hits much harder.

What I found most helpful were the frequent reminders that all of the methods of self-deception apply just as strongly to all of us. The idea of learning all the logical fallacies so that you can make someone look stupid and win an argument is not appealing to me, but interrogating my own thinking and catching myself taking shortcuts is. The takeaway is not a feeling of superiority but of humility. ( )

This was an interesting book. The author truly seems to value truth and finding it with logic and scientific experimentation, and values finding the truth even if it is different than previously thought. Even though I believe in God and he doesn't, he seems to handle the subject well, trying to differentiate provable science from non-provable spiritual beliefs; he just doesn't think the 2 should be mixed, even though many try to. I will be listening to his podcast. ( )
