REVIEWS
"Witty, fun, timely, and, most important, science-informed, Dr. Jonathan N. Stea’s new book, Mind the Science, is more than just a thorough debunk of the boatload of health BS that circulates in popular culture. It has a much-needed focus on mental health misinformation, which he handles—by drawing on both the best available evidence and his professional clinical experience—with empathy and humor. This book is for everyone, including healthcare professionals, patients, and anyone looking for an antidote to all the pseudoscientific nonsense that pollutes our information ecosystem!"
