Critical thinking is a key skill of the 21st century, which allows you not to drown in an endless ocean of information, to separate truth from lies, to make balanced and rational decisions, and to turn on logic when necessary. The new book by Nikita Nepryakhin is a fascinating journey through the world of illusions and the labyrinth of peculiarities of thinking, which provides answers to many questions. Why do we believe in all sorts of nonsense? Why do people have so many prejudices? What is mystical thinking? What is the difference between science and obscurantism? How to separate truth from fakes and think flexibly and impartially? How to look into the future using abduction? The author gives readers specific applied tools: understanding their own and others' cognitive distortions, the basics of formal and informal logic, argumentation theory, fact-checking technologies, decision-making and creative thinking algorithms. Anatomy of Delusions is like a trick debunking manual: smart, detailed, and most importantly, understandable. The book describes the most popular myths and misconceptions in the history of mankind: from astrology and homeopathy to psychics and ghosts. Anatomy of Delusions is the first book on critical thinking written by a Russian author. In it you will find many real examples and cases, illustrations and studies, as well as practical exercises to consolidate the knowledge gained in practice. This book is able to turn your ideas about yourself and the world around you.
