Unnatural Acts: Critical Thinking, Skepticism, and Science Exposed!

Unnatural Acts is for people who want to improve their thinking, become more accurate in their beliefs and more reasonable in their actions, and who are tired of being fooled by others. The book is about natural and unnatural thinking, and how the way we think affects everything we do. Natural thinking is instinctive, intuitive, quick and dirty. It works pretty well most of the time, but it can get us into trouble. We can deceive ourselves into believing what's not true or even what goes against our own self-interest, if we're not careful. And manipulators who understand natural thinking can use that understanding to hoodwink us into believing what isn't true or doing what they want us to do. You can reduce the chances of being duped by learning how to think in unnatural ways.
