"""Rarely do you find such practical advice combined with such delicious entertainment. In an age of con artists, charlatans, and conspiracy peddlers, Nobody's Fool is an essential survival guide for investors, consumers, and citizens. I wondered if the authors could possibly top The Invisible Gorilla, a classic in its field. They have - and we're all better armed against fraud as a result.""--Diana B. Henriques, author of the New York Times bestseller The Wizard of Lies: Bernie Madoff and the Death of Trust ""This book is worth vastly more than its purchase price. It shows, in rich detail, that con-artists around the world use strikingly similar tactics to ensnare their victims. Simons and Chabris offer an engaging master class in how to foil purveyors of false promises.""--Philip E. Tetlock, author of Superforecasting ""Through captivating storytelling and insightful analysis, Nobody's Fool provides a fascinating exploration of the human mind's vulnerability to deception, and offers practical tools to help us become more rational decision-makers.""--Annie Duke, author of Thinking in Bets and Quit"
