Not Born Yesterday

The Science of Who We Trust and What We Believe

Hugo Mercier

Discover how we decide who we can trust and what we should believe in Not Born Yesterday. In this intriguing book, Hugo Mercier uses findings from political science and psychology to debunk the myth of widespread gullibility. He shows that we are equipped with sophisticated cognitive mechanisms that enable us to filter out harmful beliefs and change our minds when presented with evidence. Even when we fail, it's more likely a blip in our cognitive mechanisms than a symptom of general gullibility. Not Born Yesterday explains how we can filter the flow of information around us even more effectively.

I loved this book. Clever, deep, fun to read, and it defends a very interesting claim. I hope psychologists give it the attention it deserves.      fuente

A terrific & important book: *Not Born Yesterday*. As VO Key wrote half a century ago "Voters are not Fools". @hugoreasoning shows it's true in all other parts of life too.      fuente
