This book is an excellent source if you like to know the truth behind alot of great history. Gives you origins and corrections to some of the stories handed down thru history. It is also good for proving teachers, friends, family wrong. recommended for know it alls!

The author presents the reader with this book of facts to correct what is common misconceptions of what we think we know. Everything from how snakes really kill their prey to what Adam and Eve actually ate as forbidden fruit are among the many subjects.

This isn't a conspiracy book, but one filled with facts instead of the myths we have all grown up with. It is a fun book, but it is not very in depth with the material. I prefer the Urban Legend book series as they do look at possible beginnings for the stories.

This would make a great gift for kids of all ages as the author does take a whimsical approach to the subject material.

very good book, too bad it's not available right now. just contains a lot of facts that are wrong, now you can go around telling this to your friends, doubt they'll believe you, so bring the book around, becaues some of the stuff is wild.

this book has affirmed my opinion and observation that conventional science has lamely tried to whitewas the many "missing links" that appear in the puzzle of humanities beginings. Lloyd Pye has presented a most reasonable and convincing arguement for a new understanding of our inception as a race on Earth, our history and our purpose, and our possible future. Step out of the conventional box of thought and belief and chew on some very tasty mind/soul food.

I liked the book very much. However, the irony is that the title of the book is wrong. It is not possible that everything you know is wrong. A more accurate title would be "Many Things You know Are Wrong" or perhaps "Some Things You know Are Wrong". So it makes you wonder why the author would chose such a misleading title if his goal was to bring out the truth. Anyways, the book is interesting and presents some great facts. It is also a very easy and fast read. It is a good book to read if you enjoy correcting people at a party.
