Thought provoking book by an author whom I have followed for years.. As with most books of essays, there were some I enjoyed more than others and Shermer can be a little long-winded. Still, overall an excellent and very timely work about the value of freedom of expression and free inquiry.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing an ARC copy for my review.

Interesting, thoughtful anthology

One of the things Michael Shermer discusses in this anthology is confirmation bias and he made me realize that I have that bias. When I would read an essay that I disagreed with, my initial reaction is that I don't like the book. When I would read an essay that I agreed with, my reaction would be that I love the book. It made me realize that whether I agree with them or not, the essays are indeed thought-provoking. I also liked when Shermer indicated when he had changed his views on things. Overall the book is an interesting read.
Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley for review purposes.
