Why Smart People Believe Stupid Things...and How Not To
What if two-thirds of everything you "know" has never actually been verified? You just trust it.
In an age when outrage is a business model, attention is a currency, and algorithms decide what's "true," clear thinking has never mattered more—or been harder to practice.
Drawing on decades of global business leadership and hard-won personal experience, Larry Stambaugh cuts through the noise to explore why even sharp, educated people fall for bad information—and what to do about it. This isn't a book about intelligence. It's about the invisible forces shaping every belief you hold, and the liberating power of learning to question them.
Practical, provocative, and written for the world we actually live in, this book will change how you read the news, evaluate an argument, and trust your own thinking.
The power has always been in the questions. This book hands you better ones.
