Short Synopsis
An eye-opening exploration of why experts are constantly misleading us—and what we can do about it.

Full Synopsis
Our investmeents are devastated, obesity is epidemic, blue-chip companies circle the drain, and popular medications turn out to be ineffective and even dangerous. What happened? Didn't we listen to the scientists, economists, and other experts who promised us that if we followed their advice all would be well?

Actually, those experts are a big reason we're in this mess. Their expert counsel usually turns out to be wrong—often wildly so. Wrong reveals the dangerously distorted ways experts come up with their advice and why the most heavily flawed conclusions end up getting the most attention—all the more so in the online era. But there's hope: Wrong spells out the means by which every individual and organization can do a better job of unearthing the crucial bits of right within a vast avalanche of misleading pronouncements.

"Informative and engaging." ---Kirkus

"[Wilson's] deep and congenial voice allows listeners to easily enjoy his performance and understand the material. His cadence and emphasis also help listeners through sometimes rather technical passages that a less experienced narrator might not be able to communicate as effectively." ---Publishers Weekly Audio Review

"It's a chunk of spicy populist outrage, and it can be a hoot to watch Mr. Freedman's reading glasses steam up as he, like Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, sniffs mendacity around the plantation." ---The New York Times
