description: A quirky, smart comic which introduces an essential set of critical thinking skills that even the most reasonable reader will benefit from.   The world is a confusing place and every day there is more information we have to sort through. It pours endlessly from our screens, our leaders, our friends, and from posters taped to lamp-posts. Rebecca was overwhelmed and anxious in the face of this deluge until she found reasonableness . Unlike so many techniques and trinkets that promise empowerment, the critical thinking skills presented in How to be Reasonable will make you more confident, cautious, and effective – and maybe even happier.How to be Reasonable (By Someone Who Tried Everything Else) encourages readers to embrace reason and evidence with a combination of clear, well-researched guidance, and witty asides. Fox’s illustrative style and personal story enriches the experience and will evoke many wry smiles.   "This is one of the most reasonable, charming, useful — and concise! — guides to becoming a reasonable human you’ll find. It’s a tonic and a roadmap in these unreasonable times, and it will make you smile — and think." Carol Tavris, Social psychologist and co author of Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me)    "How To Be Reasonable is an approachable, engaging, beautifully-illustrated and wonderfully-observed introduction to irrationality and what we can do to escape it. I loved it" Michael Marshall, Skeptical activist, podcaster and cofounder of the Merseyside Skeptics Society.
