THIRD MILLENNIUM THINKING - SAUL PERLMUTTER ROB...

*Available for pre-order: a definitive guide to thinking clearly in a world full of
overwhelming information* __________ In our deluge of information  it's getting harder and
harder to distinguish the revelatory from the contradictory. How do we make health decisions in
the face of conflicting medical advice? How can we navigate the next uncomfortable discussion
with family members  who follow completely different experts on climate? In Third Millennium
Thinking  a physicist  a psychologist  and a philosopher introduce readers to the tools and
frameworks that scientists use to keep from fooling themselves  to understand the world  and to
make decisions. We can all borrow from these trust-building techniques that scientists have
tested and developed for more than two millennia to tackle problems both big and small. Readers
will learn: - How to gain a solid understanding of the facts that shape our modern world - How
to navigate through a multitude of possibilities and make informed choices - How to collaborate
effectively in tackling the challenges we encounter today - And much more Through engaging
thought exercises  clear language free from technical jargon  and compelling illustrations
drawn from history  everyday life  and insider stories of scientists  Third Millennium Thinking
presents a fresh approach for readers to untangle the confusing and make sense of it all.
__________ 'A model of clear thinking  and a terrific discussion of how to use logic and
evidence to solve the hardest problems. This might just be the cure for what ails us.' Cass R.
Sunstein  Robert Walmsley University Professor  Harvard University  and author of Decisions
About Decisions
