Regardless of their intentions—even if they believe they’re doing the right thing—grifters worsen health outcomes.
They sell fake cures, pseudoscience, and false hope—and that’s a real problem for anyone needing assistance with mental health or illness.
Thrilled to have finally received my hardcopy of this book by @CaulfieldTim, which I had the privilege to read in advance of its publication and provide an endorsement.
This is what I said: https://t.co/YXunhySxiU
The Certainty Illusion is the beacon of light that is so badly needed right now to guide us out of the modern dark ages of misinformation and to keep us from collectively losing our minds.
In a way that’s fun, incisive, and plain-spoken yet strongly science-informed, Timothy Caulfield wields his expertise and decades of experience as a renowned professor and science communicator to help us understand what is real and what is fake when it comes to sorting through the overwhelming amount of science and health-related information we are faced with every day.
This book is as entertaining and hilarious as it is a serious and comprehensive account of how individuals and institutions can carve a helpful path forward in a chaotic information environment that is threatening our health, society, and science itself.
Everyone needs to read this book to get a footing in our information landscape or they risk relying on illusion to guide their decisions.
