*Out now: a definitive guide to thinking clearly in a world full of overwhelming information*__________In our deluge of information, it's getting harder and harder to distinguish the revelatory from the contradictory. How do we make health decisions in the face of conflicting medical advice? How can we navigate the next uncomfortable discussion with family members, who follow completely different experts on climate?In Third Millennium Thinking, a physicist, a psychologist, and a philosopher introduce readers to the tools and frameworks that scientists use to keep from fooling themselves, to understand the world, and to make decisions. We can all borrow from these trust-building techniques that scientists have tested and developed for more than two millennia to tackle problems both big and small.Readers will learn:- How to gain a solid understanding of the facts that shape our modern world- How to navigate through a multitude of possibilities and make informed choices- How to collaborate effectively in tackling the challenges we encounter today- And much moreThrough engaging thought exercises, clear language free from technical jargon, and compelling illustrations drawn from history, everyday life, and insider stories of scientists, Third Millennium Thinking presents a fresh approach for readers to untangle the confusing and make sense of it all.__________'A model of clear thinking, and a terrific discussion of how to use logic and evidence to solve the hardest problems. This might just be the cure for what ails us.' Cass R. Sunstein, Robert Walmsley University Professor, Harvard University, and author of Decisions About Decisions

Die heutige Informationsflut macht es uns schwerer und schwerer, wirklich Wichtiges von Unwichtigem zu unterscheiden, Fakten zu erkennen und Bullshit zu entlarven. Ein Physiker, ein Psychologe und ein Philosoph zeigen in diesem Buch, das auf einem extrem erfolgreichen Kurs der Universität Berkeley basiert, welche Werkzeuge und Methoden Wissenschaftler heute anwenden, um sich und andere vor Irrtümern zu schützen, die Welt zu verstehen und begründete Entscheidungen zu treffen. Wir alle können von diesen bewährten Techniken lernen, um die kleinen und großen Probleme unseres Lebens zu lösen!
