Don’t Get Fooled Again: The Sceptic’s Guide to Life

Temporarily out of stock

Turned off by pseudo-science, moral panics, conspiracy theories or 1,001 ways to discover the inner you? Richard Wilson offers a balm - sceptics of the world, unite!

We live in a supposedly rational age, yet crazy ideas are increasingly mainstream. New Age peddlers claim to cure Aids with vitamin tablets. Media gatekeepers stoke panic and regurgitate corporate press releases in the name of balance. There are plenty of people offering to help, from smiling high-street Scientologists offering Free Personality Testing to friendly financiers suggesting we consolidate all our existing loans into one easy monthly payment. We can buy ourselves a skinny latte 24 hours a day. But who can we trust? User-friendly, enjoyable and shot through with polemic, Richard Wilson's book cuts through this miasma of nonsense and searches for a positive solution. There really is only one way out get sceptical, now!
