Synopsis "Third Millennium Thinking: Creating Sense in a World of Nonsense"
Based on a wildly popular UC Berkeley course, how to use scientists' tricks of the trade to make the best decisions and solve the hardest problems in age of uncertainty and 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? Does the research cited in that article even show what the authors claim? How can we navigate the next Thanksgiving discussion with our in-laws, who follow completely different experts on the topic of climate change? In Third Millennium Thinking, a physicist, a psychologist, and a philosopher introduce readers to the tools and frameworks that scientists have developed to keep from fooling themselves, to understand the world, and to make decisions. We can all borrow these trust-building techniques to tackle problems both big and small. Readers will learn: How to achieve a ground-level understanding of the facts of the modern world How to chart a course through a profusion of possibilities How to work together to take on the challenges we face today And much more Using provocative thought exercises, jargon-free language, and vivid illustrations drawn from history, daily life, and scientists' insider stories, Third Millennium Thinking offers a novel approach for readers to make sense of the nonsense.
