I had just finished reading "Being Wrong" by Kathryn Schulz and I was looking at my backlog as to what to read/listen to next and this book just jumped out at me. The irony of reading a book about accepting and embracing "being wrong" and then immediately reading a book about "how not to be wrong" was just too good.

The most delightful thing about this book is that it embraces the same philosophy of Schulz's book. The twist at the end is that we should embrace being wrong and the enlightening thing about Math is not that it makes sure we are never wrong but that it can show us where we are wrong and quantify that uncertainty.

This book touches everything, politics, religion, philosophy, all kinds of fun stuff. One of the big things I gained from the book was its critique of Instant Runoff Voting, of which I am a big fan of. He really pointed out its limitations and brought to light the main problem that it is trying to fix and how it may very well be unfixable.

I personally loved this book, but I would only recommend it to Math nerds like myself. He makes everything Very accessible, but I just cannot imagine someone really caring for his examples or what he is talking about unless you really enjoy the mathematical nature of it all. Really, if you like the YouTube series "Numberphile" you will LOVE this book as it is much more practical than the show can be.
