When a decision really matters, two of the most important questions that we can ask are: what do we know and how do we know it? Unfortunately, all evidence suggests that we are not very good as a species at answering them well, choosing instead to parrot what we want to believe is true. If you care about the quality of your decisions, this book will help.What do we know and how do we know it? starts the journey toward better decisions by examining the following questions: -What forces are at work when we think or reason about an issue?-How are we manipulated (by ourselves and others) to believe in certain ways?-How should we evaluate different sources of information?-Why is science so controversial?-How do numerical concepts help and harm reasoning?-A better awareness of these contributors to decision making can reduce the extent to which we simply rearrange our prejudices, enabling us to do a better job of deciding what to accept and reject, how to assess information, and how to back up any important decisions with a firm foundation.
