The Confidence Game
Why We Fall for It . . . Every Time
Maria Konnikova
This fascinating book delves into the minds and methods of con artists and explores why we fall for their scams time and time again. Drawing on scientific and psychological perspectives, the author uses stories of both small-time frauds and multimillion-dollar Ponzi schemes to show how cons exploit trust and persuasion to succeed. The Confidence Game not only examines the act of believing but also offers insight into the relationship between artist and victim. A must-read for anyone looking to spot a scam before it's too late.
