Description :
Develop your critical thinking skills to decode the world around you and tell fact from fiction.
Viral rumours, flawed arguments, misleading videos, self-proclaimed expert influencers, propaganda, algorithmic echo chambers, AI-generated nonsense... Never has it been so difficult to distinguish truth from the merely plausible, the false, or even the absurd.

A former conspiracy theorist himself, Samuel Buisseret knows these traps from the inside. With humour and clarity, he explores the mechanisms behind misinformation and provides practical tools to help readers navigate today's complex information landscape.

This book offers simple, effective strategies to protect yourself from misleading narratives, oversimplified reasoning and... your own cognitive blind spots.

Inside, you'll discover:
- an eye-opening exploration of the weaknesses of the human mind: cognitive biases, logical fallacies and cognitive dissonance;
- intellectual self-defence tools to assess ideas and arguments more critically;
- an anti-fake-news toolkit for tackling propaganda, misinformation and AI-driven manipulation;
- practical techniques for having constructive conversations with conspiracy believers without going round in circles.
As a bonus: access to an exclusive online course on critical thinking!
