"If you want to think not just fast and slow, but broadly and deeply, wisely and insightfully, outside the box and inside it, it's hard to think of a better book - or a better author - than this. -- Tim Harford A wonderful antidote to all those books on how to be smart and rational. Blastland uses vivid images and personal stories to show that things are hard, require multiple perspectives, and sometimes there's just no answer. Full of challenges to our ideas, he proclaims himself an ""uncertainty evangelist"" while giving some great tips for spotting trustworthiness. A welcome call for more humility from the smart-thinkers. -- David Spiegelhalter One of the most original writers around. He has profoundly influenced my thinking. -- Hannah Fry Highly original and challenging... Once you have read this book, you can't unread it. * Daniel Finkelstein, The Times on THE HIDDEN HALF * Elegantly written and mind-expanding, The Hidden Half will enthrall you with its storytelling while educating you with its scientific depth. * Daniel H. Pink on THE HIDDEN HALF *"
