So true. Thanks for the pointer to Science Friday. Just signed-up.
Now, if only we could send relgious fraudsters to jail like we do the financial ones.
Thanks, an awesome companion book I’d recommend is called “Influence: The psychology of persuasion” by Robert B. Cialdini. A great to teach you the influence tricks used all the time by hucksters (and co-workers).
