Bad science – Ben Goldacre
Top 8 in Top 10 Best Psychology Books to Read
This isn't simply a psychology book; it's about science in general – specifically, bad science, as the title suggests. Bad Science urges readers to be mindful of society's lack of comprehension of scientific facts and statistics. For example, Goldacre investigates how science reporting in the media frequently produces wildly inaccurate descriptions of real study and data.
He also discusses how pharmaceutical firms manipulate data to their advantage, and how homeopathy dupes so many people into believing it is a treatment. This book is both amusing and easy to read, yet it will make you doubt everything you've ever been told is real.
