In a post-truth world, Levitin's book is an invaluable primer on
how to sort the fact from the fiction
*Sunday Times*
The world is awash with data, but not always with accurate
information. [Levitin] does a terrific job of illustrating the
difference between the two with precision and delightful good
humour
*Charles Wheelan, author of Naked Economics*
Deservedly a bestseller
*Independent on 'The Organized Mind'*
Smart, important, exquisitely written
*Daniel Gilbert on 'The Organized Mind'*
The Organized Mind is the perfect antidote to the effects of
information overload. Loved it.
*Scott Turow, New York Times bestselling author of 'Identical' and
'Innocent' on 'The Organized Mind'*
Daniel Levitin's field guide is a critical thinking primer for our
shrill, data-drenched age. From the way averages befuddle to the
logical fallacies that sneak by us, every page is enlightening
*Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit and Smarter, Faster,
Better*
Valuable tools for anyone willing to evaluate claims and get to the
truth of the matter

and assertion it is profoundly welcome
