Stupidity is all around us, from the colleagues who won't stop hitting 'reply all' to the former school friends posting conspiracy theories on Facebook. But in order to battle idiocy, we must first understand it. In this book, some of the world's leading psychologists and thinkers - including a Nobel Prize winner - will show you: why smart people sometimes believe in utter nonsense; how our lazy brains cause us to make the wrong decisions; why trying to debate with fools is a trap; how media manipulation and Internet overstimulation makes us dumber; why the stupidest people don't think they're stupid.
