Now out on the Skeptic Zone podcast – also tune in to learn more about the Simon Singh tour that will feature in both Adelaide and Sydney! Learn more about the fun, interesting and very useful facts in Dr Richard Wiseman’s book by heading to www.59seconds.biz.
It’s the structure of the book which might throw you – this isn’t ‘The Luck Factor’ or ‘Did You Spot The Gorilla?’. Whilst every research discussion goes for no more than five to six pages, there’s a ‘59 Seconds or Less Tip’ which features nearly every ten pages or so. That’s mixed in with some quizzes, some charts to fill in, a few ‘4 x 15 seconds Tips’ in text boxes – and it’s all neatly divided into chapters.
It’s a very practical book that you’re encouraged to write in – much like his earlier two self-help books, but it’s a lot thicker. I guess the format of a self-help book is one I associate with a less ’solid non-fiction research’ appearance; but you certainly can’t say that you’re not getting your money’s worth with so much research and activities stacked in bunches throughout.’
