The Life-Changing Science of Detecting Bullshit

Professor of psychology and social scientist John V. Petrocelli expands upon his Ted Talk to help you examine your own critical thinking habits. In an era of fake news, conspiracy theories, clickbait headlines, and unfettered rumors, it's more difficult than ever to keep your thinking uncontaminated. Uncritical thinking can lead to bad habits that can lead further to poor health, financial risks, broken relationships, and ultimately a wasted life. That may seem hyperbolic, but all of us are susceptible to leaps of logical faith. With a dose of skepticism gleaned from people in as various fields such as the used car, real estate, wine, and diamond industries, Petrocell helps you realize how to wade through the BS that surrounds you.
