This book by Darrell Huff came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Tim Ferriss. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
Both charming and informative about how statistics are misused. Published long ago, but the tricks haven't changed.
“There's a book called How to Lie With Statistics by Darrell Huff, which I think is a very fast read.”— Tim Ferriss
