Ever wondered why bad musicians always win the Eurovision Song
Contest, or how incompetent politicians get elected? You need some
Quirkology in your life. While other scientists beaver away on
obvious problems, Richard Wiseman has been busy uncovering the
secret ingredients of charisma, exploring how our personalities are
shaped by when we are born and examining why people usually miss
the obvious signs of their partner's infidelity. Using scientific
methods to investigate offbeat topics that interest the general
public as well as the scientific community, Quirkology brings a new
understanding to the backwaters of the human mind and takes us to
places where mainstream scientists fear to tread. Comparable to
Freakonomics, but British, far more populist, and a lot funnier.
Findings include: How does your surname influence your life? What
does the way you walk reveal about your personality? Why should
women have men write their personal ads? What is the funniest joke
in the world?
