**Neuroscientist Daniel Levitin reveals how learning to understand statistics will

From the author
of the Sunday Times best-seller _[The Organised Mind](https://uk.bookshop.org/a/1597/9780241965788)_.

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.
