Freakonomics

By the end of the book, you'll have learnt to take everything with a grain of salt, so hopefully that means taking the contents of the book with a grain of salt as well. After all, you're still being told what to believe, it's just that it goes against the conventional knowledge he harps on about.

While this book teaches critical thinking I'm afraid it goes the other direction as well. Skepticism is good but branding experts as selfish bastards and later clarifying that all humans are selfish bastards (wait, just most) an interesting strategy in a world that is rife with antivaxxers and flat-earthers and god knows what else.
