THE LIFE-CHANGING SCIENCE OF DETECTING BULLSHIT

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.
