Description
Is your teenager learning critical thinking skills in school? If you want your kids to learn to be logical and to know when someone is trying to trick them, be aware that there is little chance they will pick up these skills in the traditional classroom. You need to take action to make sure that your kids develop the cognitive abilities necessary for the challenging work of avoiding deception.

Don't Get Fooled! explains over one hundred types of logical fallacies, cognitive biases, and other mental errors, enabling readers to mount an armed mental defense against deception. The example dialog between young adults, parents, coaches, and other characters will entertain your child while training them to detect sloppy thinking.

Instances of flawed reasoning are presented without promoting or condemning religion, without praising or criticizing specific politicians or political parties, and without even mentioning divisive social issues like abortion, gay marriage, or gun control. Although targeted at teens, the content is equally valuable to any adult who does not know a hasty generalization from a hypothesis contrary to fact, nor a red herring from a reductio ad absurdum.

If your kids automatically accept what they read in books, hear on the radio, see on TV, search on the internet, or are taught in school, Don't Get Fooled! is required reading. Help them to out-think opinionated opponents, lousy leaders, ambitious advertisers, and slick salespeople. Raise your child to think for themselves so they Don't Get Fooled!
