He has won several awards for his writing, including the WHO (World Health Organization) Award for Health Reporting and the Commonwealth Media Award for Excellence in Journalism.

Guy’s brand of scientific skepticism is positive, constructive and optimistic. He calls weak skepticism the world’s great unrecognized crisis and believes that millions of lives and trillions of dollars could be saved if only more people committed to thinking like a scientist in everyday life. 

Harrison is the author of five highly acclaimed books on critical thinking, including his latest work Think: Why You Should Question Everything. In his new book, the author demonstrates how everyone can reason like a scientist, embrace the skeptical life, and improve their critical thinking skills. Harrison shows you how to better navigate through the maze of biases and traps that are standard features of every human brain by helping you trim away the nonsense, deflect bad ideas, and keep both feet firmly planted in reality.
