This book is for people who want to make good decisions, for people who do not want to be bamboozled, for people who are tired of getting stuck with terrible purchases. It follows the evolution of an average guy from gullible teenager to skeptical adult.
Praise for the book:
"Mike Short's
How do We Know What We Know is So?
is an entertaining and informative read. Part autobiography on his own journey to becoming a critical thinker, part how-to on becoming a better critical thinker yourself, the book is full of humor, wisdom, interesting science, and common sense (which isn't very common these days). Short's style is honest while disarming. This is just the book we need in our current climate of disinformation gone rampant." –Bill Lehto, editor of
Atheist Voices of Minnesota
"I first met Mike as he uncorked wine in the hospitality room of a Westar meeting, and it has been a joy to electronically argue back and forth with him over the fine points of Historical Jesus scholarship, stoicism, the scientific method, and how we know stuff in general. The real Mike is hiding in these pages, and there couldn't be a more appropriate person with whom to share an academic hospitality room give and take. Socrates/Plato's examined life is what he is all about. (He might be wrong on jellyfish extract though!)" –Peter Kane, retired minister/chemist
