On Audio Rationality

Steven Pinker, Allen Lane, £12.99

In a time when fake news, conspiracy theories and urban myths thrive, Harvard psychology professor Steven Pinker is encouraging us to think more rationally. In each chapter he provides tools to help readers become more able to think clearly and challenge their own biases and assumptions. From how to take apart a news report to understanding that correlation doesn’t equate to causation or really being able to understand probabilities, the book can arm you to think for yourself.
