Publisher's Summary Now available in audio for the first time! Darrell Huff's celebrated classic How to Lie With Statistics is a straightforward and engaging guide to understanding the manipulation and misrepresentation of information that could be lurking behind every graph, chart, and infographic. Originally published in 1954, it remains as relevant and necessary as ever in our digital world, where information is king - and as easy to distort and manipulate as it is to access. A precursor to modern popular science books like Steven D. Levitt's Freakonomics and Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, Huff runs the gamut of every popularly used type of statistic; probes such things as the sample study, the tabulation method, the interview technique, and the way the results are derived from the figures; and points up the countless number of dodges that are used to full rather than to inform. Critically acclaimed by media outlets like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal and recommended by Bill Gates as a perfect beach listen, How to Lie With Statistics stands as the go-to book for understanding the use of statistics by teachers and leaders everywhere. ©1954 Estate of Darrell Huff (P)2016 Audiobooks.com Publishing

this book explained much of modern media and advertising and also made me realize all of us have been lied to and are continuing to be deceived with garbage output. I highly recommend everyone to read and re-read this book it is not large but the information is fantastic.

As a public employee with a lot of exposure to evidence based interventions, this book is a must read / listen to.

What did you like best about this story?Although this is an old book, it really made me think about false statistics and fake news...seems really applicable in today's world. What does Bryan DePuy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?How has this guy not narrated anything else? He was great! Really factual tone, very easy to listen to.

This book has great content but the examples are vey dated. Pay attention to when it was originally written not when the audio book was recorded, but that's my only complaint.

This book is very useful to the business minded and those continuously expanding their awareness of self and their surroundings.What I like about the book is that it's a treasure trove of great information that can be applied to real life. Older books tend to be a little more bearable, in my opinion, because they are free of the fallacy of having to read out website links like most book made after the year 2000.My only dislike stems from my replaying of certain parts because it's filled with so much statistical information that if you miss a number, you can't deduce the point he was trying to convey. This wouldn't be a problem for someone who is listening at home doing nothing. But for most audible listeners who must likely are driving or doing something else, It's very hard to focus on those parts.Overall I give it a 4.7.
