Happy 2024! If you have resolved this year to get conned less often (or not at all), to not be taken in by misinformation and deceptive marketing, and to evade fraud and scams as much as possible, you should read my book with @profsimons.bsky.social: NOBODY'S FOOL dansimons.com/NobodysFool....

NOBODY'S FOOL, my second book co-authored with @profsimons, was published today by @BasicBooks! It's about how deception works—the patterns inherent in successful frauds and scams, and the cognitive science of how we respond to them. Much more info here: dansimons.com/NobodysFool.html
