Overview

Bigfoot and Better Thinking: Critical Thinking Lessons from the Forest Is Bigfoot real, or just a reflection of how our minds work? In Bigfoot and Better Thinking, historian and analyst Jordan L. Booker takes readers deep into the woods of mystery, logic, and human psychology. Using the world's most famous cryptid as a case study, this book reveals how eyewitness accounts, blurry photos, and bold claims expose the hidden flaws in our reasoning. From cognitive biases to logical fallacies, from groupthink at Bigfoot conventions to hoaxes defended in the face of proof, this book is both entertaining and deeply educational. Each chapter unpacks a different pitfall of human thinking, such as confirmation bias, correlation vs. causation, anecdotal ""evidence,"" and the allure of single explanations, while showing readers how to sharpen their critical thinking skills. Whether you're fascinated by cryptids, intrigued by psychology, or want to avoid being fooled by bad arguments, Bigfoot and Better Thinking offers a special combination of humor, scholarship, and practical lessons. Along the way, you'll discover why we see patterns in shadows, why stories persuade us more than data, and why we cling to beliefs even when the evidence falls apart. This is not just a book about Bigfoot. It's a book about how to think clearly in a world full of mystery, misinformation, and myth.
