How to Lie With Statistics

This book by Darrell Huff was genuinely recommended once in the episodes we index, on Tim Ferriss. The people who vouched for it on air: Tim Ferriss. It comes up in conversations about brain health, exercise & strength, longevity & aging, nutrition & diet. Every quote below is verbatim, attributed, and linked to the exact second it was said. Sourced expert opinion, not medical advice.

Both charming and informative about how statistics are misused. Published long ago, but the tricks haven't changed.
