THE LIFE-CHANGING SCIENCE OF DETECTING BULLSHIT

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Larry Herron

Contemporary Culture • 7.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2021

Actor Larry Herron pragmatically narrates a straightforward essay, originally a TEDx talk, on lies, bluffs, and, frankly, detecting bullshit. Social scientist John V. Petrocelli enlarges his presentation on identifying misinformation and cognitive dissonance in this audiobook. Herron lends a clear and concise narration. Examples presented are delivered in the appropriate tone: light for fleeting illustrations such as the nature of social media influencers and weighty for sizable real-life situations such as the spread of fake news in today's society. Most importantly, Herron's narration creates a calm atmosphere that ensures listeners can digest a frustrating yet vital topic. An excellent introduction to behavioral science with relatable examples is presented by an expert narrator. G.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award, 2022 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2022]
