Surprisingly, The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe is not for the conspiracy theorists and false flag wavers out there. Sorry, dudes. The book, from academic neurologist Steven Novella and his team of contributors, is for fact seekers without agendas. People who know Twitter and Google do not always supply the most reliable information, but don't know how to filter out the fact from fiction.
In The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe Novella, et. al. teach readers the foundation of skeptical, critical, and rational thinking. They also get specific, discussing some of the biggest scientific myths, fallacies, and conspiracy theories, and provide guidance on how to interact with and dispute the people promoting them.
Pair The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe with the Logical Fallacies Poster for the ultimate 1-2 punch of reason in your life.
