Ariely's book often reads like my social psych and cognitive psych textbooks, citing many of the same studies and sources. Ariely includes enough memoir elements and anecdotes from others to prevent the narrative from becoming too dry. The book is well-organized and really lays out all facets of the layered cause-and-effect we are experiencing now in attempting to understand "post-truth" America.

A balanced and insightful look at the various social and psychological factors that can lead one down the “funnel of misbelief”. A fantastic crash course reminder of different ways our brains work and make shortcuts. A great reminder that we all have biases and need to be mindful of the information we consume, especially on how we have evolved to communicate and the failure of social media to reflect and respect that. Also the importance of trust and the erosion there of that has caused a great many people to embrace misinformation. Recommend this book to anyone with a Human brain!

I think it is a must read. It would be perfect if the ones that believe in conspiracy theories read it and think about it but they will not. But it's very important for the rest of us to read it as well and think about us and ask ourselves if we are not doing the same things but just did not go over the edge.
