Reason: Books I & II

This book is based on the first five years of The Dr. Bo Show, where Bo takes a critical thinking-, reason-, and science-based approach to issues that matter with the goal of educating and entertaining. Every chapter in the book explores a different aspect of reason by using a real-world issue or example.

Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

Well, it may be true that "facts don't care about your feelings,” but we must remember that feelings often don't care about the facts, either. It's like two nonchalant cats passing each other on a narrow fence: neither is really bothered about the other, but both are ready to bring out their claws in a pinch. Yes, our feelings can bring color to the grayscale monotony of facts, but they can also lead us to conclusions that are as stable as a three-legged chair on a buttered floor. This saying is a clear reminder though, when someone's opinion is as ridiculous as a kangaroo in a dinner jacket, just remember, those factual claws always have your back.

Technically correct, but it's so often used as a buzzword (buzz-phrase?) to shut down logical arguments, or to just be a dick.
