WEIRDISTORY

For twenty years, psychologist and professor Richard Wiseman has dedicated himself to the strange science of everyday life. In "Weirdology," he explores the hidden depths of human behavior, uncovering, for example, the influence of birthdate on personality, the telltale signs of a liar, the secret science behind classified ads, and what a sense of humor can reveal about an entire nation. To this end, Wiseman conducted unusual experiments on the streets of major cities around the world, at art exhibitions, concerts, and even haunted houses. The result is a clever overview of the human mind.
