From the author of the Sunday Times best-seller The Organised Mind.
We live in a world of information overload, with facts and figures on everything easily available. But many are biased, ill-informed or actively deceitful. Daniel Levitin teaches us how effectively to ask ourselves: can we really know that? And how do they know that?
In this eye-opening, accessible guide filled with fascinating examples and practical takeaways, neuroscientist Daniel Levitin shows us how learning to understand statistics will enable you to make better, smarter judgements on the world around you.
“As a lucid guide to critical thinking about statistics, information and assertion it is profoundly welcome.”
