Description

Post-Truth Peak Bullshit - and What We Can Do About It In today's world, low-level dishonesty is ubiquitous. From exaggerated claims to selective use of facts, we're constantly bombarded with nonsense. But how did this become the norm? Evan Davis explores the surprising logic behind why deceit is so pervasive and persistent. Drawing on behavioural science, economics, psychology, and his knowledge of the media, Davis provides a tool-kit to help readers navigate the post-truth age. He examines why company reports are often misleading, estate agents can't be trusted, and political campaigning relies on stretching the truth. With this insightful book, you'll gain a better understanding of how to spot deception and make informed decisions. By assessing the deceptions we encounter every day, Davis charts a route through the muddy waters of post-truth politics. This thought-provoking book offers practical advice on how to handle the kinds of deceptions that surround us all.
