Meet the Author: Riniolo and When Good Thinking Goes Bad
Dr. Todd Riniolo, associate professor of psychology, will discuss why everyone is vulnerable to developing foolish beliefs in a Meet the Author event on Monday, April 7 at 12:30 p.m. in the Lecture Hall. His book, When Good Thinking Goes Bad: How Your Brain Can Have a Mind of Its Own, examines unconscious biases in critical thinking, and poses such questions as:
In 1975 who warned us âthe world as we know it will likely be ruined before the year 2000??
What role (if any) did critical thinking play in the famous âMonkey Trialâ?
What was Albert Einsteinâs failure as a critical thinker?
The event is sponsored by the Medaille College Scholars Program.
