The Confidence Game: Why We Fall for It . . . Every Time by Maria Konnikova

4.0

Very interesting stories about confidence scams. I agree with some other reviewers that the number of obviously apocryphal stories, as well as the fact that general conclusions are drawn from really specific stories, is problematic. And overall I think the book could have been shorter, or better organized, or both. But overall it was interesting and entertaining, and it made me think critically about my own susceptibilities.
