Ever wonder why good people end up doing terrible things? "MISLED?" explains how our beliefs become a personal ideology that shapes the way we treat ourselves and others. It explains how, from our earliest days, we are conditioned into systems of belief that can dictate the way we live. It also explains how this can be a force for both good and evil.
The book also guides the reader to a deeper understanding of how current ideologies, both secular and religious, are having profound effects on the well-being of people and society in general. It specifically addresses the way that such ideologies can lead to moral failure, resulting in self sabotage, hatred, aggression and mistreating others. In response to this challenge, it provides practical guidance to help people evaluate these ideologies as well as practical steps for positive change in order to grow beyond beliefs that no longer lead people to live good and productive lives.
At its core, "MISLED?" is a call to the reader to take time to understand the ideological influences that are defining and guiding his/her life. It also proposes that as human beings, we all need to develop a personal ideology in order to make it through this adventure called living. In examining our personal ideology, we can face the challenge laid down here, which is to choose and take ownership of a belief system that will help us to live our best life and not lead us into moral failure.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 'Essential reading . An incisive and urgently needed book' Tim Harford '[An] entertaining introduction to the uses (and misuses) of data . a penetrating analysis of why statistical literacy matters to our politics and our daily lives' Professor Jonathan Portes Our politicians make vital decisions and declarations every day that rely on official data. But should all statistics be trusted? In BAD DATA, House of Commons Library statistician Georgina Sturge draws back the curtain on how governments of the past and present have been led astray by figures littered with inconsistency, guesswork and uncertainty. Discover how a Hungarian businessman's bright idea caused half a million people to go missing from UK migration statistics. Find out why it's possible for two politicians to disagree over whether poverty has gone up or down, using the same official numbers, and for both to be right at the same time. And hear about how policies like ID cards, super-casinos and stopping ex-convicts from reoffending failed to live up to their promise because they were based on shaky data. With stories that range from the troubling to the empowering to the downright absurd, BAD DATA reveals secrets from the usually closed-off world of policy-making. It also suggests how - once we understand the human story behind the numbers - we can make more informed choices about who to trust, and when. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
