The hilarious and insightful podcast, If Books Could Kill, hosted by Michael Hobbes and Peter Shamshiri dismantles blockbuster nonfiction with the tagline ”The airport bestsellers that captured our hearts and ruined our minds.” It turns out that many of the most popular books that promised earthshaking insights are actually based on little science, made up anecdotes and laughably broad overgeneralizations. Yet when you’re talking about some of America’s bestselling nonfiction books, a little bit of knowledge can go to some bizarre, if not downright dangerous, places.
People often say “I know enough to be dangerous,” as a joke.
