Editorial Reviews

Review

“This book is a textbook explaining our cognitive errors. Its theme is medicine but the same errors occur everywhere. We all need to understand our psychological foibles in order to think clearly about every aspect of our lives and to make the best decisions. Every doctor would benefit from reading this book, and I wish it could be required reading in medical schools. I wish everyone who considers trying CAM would read it first.” (Sciene-Based Medicine, sciencebasedmedicine.org, January, 2019)​

    5.0 out of 5 stars Important information for everyone!!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2019

    This is full of topics that need to be more commonly discussed. Some of them are obscure, while others are more situations of "the emperor has no clothes," but they share the fact being aware helps to mitigate the associated damage.

    Dr Howard takes a number of frightening and discouraging situations, and presents them with a great deal of dark and wry humor, as well as breaking them down into manageable bites. Every health care provider needs to be aware of these traps, and every health care consumer would do well to educate themselves as well.

    This takes a dry, academic subject and turns it into a life saving set of advice. I wish I had had access to this when I was in school. This is a book to read and think about each topic.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely informative for all fields!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2018
    While this book is written primarily towards those in the medical field, it has application to laypersons as well. All throughout the book, Dr. Howard breaks down how the mindset of a person can result in errors in thinking. I especially liked how the entire book illustrates how people can fall for pseudoscience through a combination of misunderstanding study results and the methods used by those who prey on the hopes and fears of individuals.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very well done, with exceptions...
    Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023
    I haven't finished the book yet, but it is a great book that should be required reading for any and all in the medical field. It's also a great book on human bias and thinking that anyone can enjoy and learn from.

    My only complaint is that it is in serious need of a second edition thats been thoroughly edited for grammar and typos.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2019
    This book helped me to recognize some very important logical mistakes I was making in diagnostic workups, and could do the same for you. I highly recommend this book to any medical clinician or science educator. It combines the comprehensive scope of a textbook with the readability of a popular science book. I couldn't put it down.

    Too expensive, looks like it was self published with little to no editing assistance. Lots of typos, misspellings, etc. Does not look or read like a professionally done book. For $60, I expected more than a first draft type document.

    Great book. Very informative and intriguing. I found it was an easier to read than expected. The book describes how people fall for conspiracies, through misunderstandings and charlatans who prey on their beliefs.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An informative and important book.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 2, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This booked is aimed at the medical profession of which I am not a member. I am however particularly interested in the hows and whys of the way people think and make decisions and how it is that many prefer to believe pseudoscience rather than the real science for which there is hard evidence. Some of the medical references were above my head but it was otherwise easy to understand. It is laid out logically with each chapter dealing with a particular type of cognitive bias and starting with cases histories followed by a discussion and ending with conclusions drawn. Anyone, medic or not, who has enjoyed Ben Goldacre's Bad Science will also find this book illuminating.
