Written explicitly for the layperson, McInerny’s Being Logical promises to take its place beside Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style as a classic of lucid, invaluable advice.

An indispensable guide to using logic to advantage in everyday life, this is a concise, crisply readable book. McInerney covers the sources of illogical thinking, from naÏve optimism to narrow-mindedness, before dissecting the various tactics-red herrings, diversions, and simplistic reasoning-the illogical use in place of effective reasoning.
