Understanding Misbelief: A Must-Read for Info Explorers!

Friend: My dear friend Dan Ariely (Professor Ariely), has a new book out that I think you would enjoy and learn a lot from. Misbelief is one of the most important forces in our modern life and this book is a must-read for anyone who is consuming information and trying to understand the world around us. Do you have a friend or family member who changed in some dramatic ways in the last few years? So much so that you no longer understand them? Over the last few years, Dan has been on a journey into some of the darkest corners of the internet, trying to make sense of what was happening around us. In MISBELIEF, which is out this week, Dan interweaves his personal story and research in an effort to shed light on this complex and important process. It is easy to think that misbeliefs are only about other people, but they are not. They are also about our own beliefs. This book will allow you to better understand your friends and family, question your own beliefs, and how well you really know what you think you know. More generally, and important for society, this book also gets you to think differently about trust, the trust crisis we are in, and what it means for us as we go into the next election season.
