'Simply put: this is the best thing written on scientific skepticism since Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Thorough, informative, and enlightening' - Neil deGrasse Tyson, author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

'This isn't a "self help" book, but the information relating to biases and the cognitive errors we are all susceptible to has the potential to benefit your everyday life much more than any law of attraction nonsense. Now more than ever, being able to see through the scams, lies and fake news we are exposed to daily is of great benefit.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'An essential resource for anyone who is into science and rational thinking' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'The perfect primer for anyone who wants to separate fact from fiction' - Richard Wiseman, author 59 Seconds

'Previous to this book, I've always had a spare couple of copies of The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan to hand out to people as a first foray into skepticism. Now its the SGU book I'll probably recommend' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Join Steven Novella and 'Skeptical Rogues' Bob Novella, Cara Santa Maria, Jay Novella and Evan Bernstein as they explain the tenets of skeptical thinking and use them to debunk some of the biggest scientific myths, fallacies and conspiracy theories (anti-vaccines, homeopathy, UFO sightings, and many more) in this explosive book.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe is the must-have guide to understanding how you think, and how you can think more critically about yourself and the world around you. It explains the difference between science and pseudoscience, how to recognise common science news tropes, how to discuss conspiracy theories with that blinkered colleague of yours, and how to apply this to make your life better.

As fascinating as it is entertaining, this page-turner is your essential guide to seeing through the fake news and media manipulation in our increasingly confusing world.
