Skeptic - by Michael Shermer

'Viewing the world with a rational eye'

 

This book is a taste of what it means to be a 'skeptic'. Put simply, it means not believing everything you see, hear or read. It means putting all new claims through a series of questions and examinations in order to find the truth, not just the opinions of fringe thinkers. 

The book covers a whole bunch of short essays on a wide range of ideas - out of the hundred or so in the book, we pick our favourites three or four each to discuss and talk about the approach you should take for viewing the world as a 'skeptic'.
