Winner of the National Business Book Award From the New York Times bestselling author of The Organized Mind and This Is Your Brain on Music, a primer to the critical thinking that is more necessary now than ever We are bombarded with more information each day than our brains can process--especially in election season. It's raining bad data, half-truths, and even outright lies. New York Times bestselling author Daniel J. Levitin shows how to recognize misleading announcements, statistics, graphs, and written reports, revealing the ways lying weasels can use them.It's becoming harder to separate the wheat from the digital chaff. How do we distinguish misinformation, pseudo-facts, and distortions from reliable information? Levitin groups his field guide into two categories--statistical information and faulty arguments--ultimately showing how science is the bedrock of critical thinking. Infoliteracy means understanding that there are hierarchies of source quality and bias that variously distort our information feeds via every media channel, including social media. We may expect newspapers, bloggers, the government, and Wikipedia to be factually and logically correct, but they so often aren't. We need to think critically about the words and numbers we encounter if we want to be successful at work, at play, and in making the most of our lives. This means checking the plausibility and reasoning--not passively accepting information, repeating it, and making decisions based on it. Readers learn to avoid the extremes of passive gullibility and cynical rejection. Levitin's charming, entertaining, accessible guide can help anyone wake up to a whole lot of things that aren't so. And catch some weasels in their tracks

Once you put them on, you will know you made the right decision
Size: 38, Color: Medium Tint Denim
Absolutely perfect in every way. Staring either the very reasonable price, the true to size fit, and quality. Hip pockets are deep, and can come in handy. Most don’t know that Wrangler actually started in 1904 as a company called Blue Bell, and later renamed Wrangler. Well established and a long history of top quality clothing. Although you may find another company selling for a bit less, that’s what you’ll get……Less !!?

Good shorts but they run big
Size: 38, Color: Dusty Olive
I've been losing weight and picked these up in my new size (38). It turns out these are cut for a generous American midsection, and have an elastic fit in the waist, so you can (and probably should!) safely go down a size. I got mine in 34 instead and they fit great.

Great fit, functional, most comfortable shorts!
Size: 30, Color: Anthracite Camo
These are my go-to shorts, I now have five pair in different camo colors! I suggest one waist size smaller than you normally wear, (I buy a 30 instead of a 32, because they stretch and would be too sloppy if I purchased my regular size). The large open slotted pocket on the left, behind the Velcro flap pocket, is perfect for a normal sized cell phone. Plenty of utility pockets for EDC. Since these stretch slightly to accommodate movement and sitting, they are extremely comfortable. Also, my wife says they are good looking on me, so that gets an extra star!

The perfect throw-on athletic dress (with built-in shorts!)
Size: Small, Color: Navy Blue
I’ve been loving this athletic dress—it’s one of those pieces that’s both functional and cute, which is hard to find. The fabric is lightweight, breathable, and slightly stretchy, so it’s comfortable whether you’re running errands, going for a walk, or just chasing kids around all day.
The built-in shorts are a huge plus. They stay in place well and make it feel more secure than a regular dress, especially on busy days. I also appreciate the pockets—they’re actually usable and don’t feel bulky.
The fit is relaxed and flowy, which I personally like because it’s easy and flattering without clinging. The straps are adjustable, so you can customize the fit a bit depending on your height or preference.
I’d say it runs true to size for a looser fit. If you want it more fitted, you could size down, but I like the casual, sporty look as is.
Overall, this is a great everyday summer staple—super easy to style with sneakers or sandals, and perfect for travel or on-the-go days. I’ll definitely be getting more colors!
