Of course, we're not among them--are we?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Scientist David Robert Grimes is on a mission to expose the logical fallacies and cognitive biases that drive our discourse on a dizzying array of topics-from vaccination to abortion, 9\/11 conspiracy theories to dictatorial doublespeak, astrology to alternative medicine, and wrongful convictions to racism. But his purpose in \u003ci\u003eGood Thinking\u003c\/i\u003e isn't to shame or place blame. Rather, it's to interrogate our own assumptions-to develop our eye for the glimmer of truth in a vast sea of dubious sources-in short, to \u003ci\u003ethink critically\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Grimes's expert takedown of irrationality is required reading for anyone wondering why bad thinking persists and how we can defeat it. Ultimately, no one changes anyone else's mind; we can only change our own-and give others the tools to do the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGrimes, David Robert:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eDr. David Robert Grimes\u003c\/b\u003e is a physicist, cancer researcher and science journalist.
