Bedriegers en zwendelaars zijn er te over, maar meesteroplichters - zoals Bernie Madoff, Lance Armstrong, Diederik Stapel - zijn dunner gezaaid. Het zijn charmante persoonlijkheden, kunstenaars in het overreden, die op geraffineerde wijze het vertrouwen weten te winnen. Hoe doen ze het ? Wat bepaalt hun succes ? En hoe komt het dat wij erin trappen, keer op keer ? In dit boek ontleedt Maria Konnikova de verschillende vormen van bedrog - van miljoenenfraudes tot skimming - en beschrijft vanuit psychologische, neurologische en biologische invalshoeken wat al deze oplichters met elkaar gemeen hebben en hoe zij hun slachtoffers in de val lokken. List en leugen geeft inzicht in waarom we oplichters vertrouwen, waarom we ze zo graag willen geloven en zo beïnvloedbaar kunnen zijn, en geeft ons gereedschap in handen om ons tegen toekomstige zwendelpraktijken te wapenen.

"Lessons from the world's greatest fictional detective teach us how to improve our own mental powers. Konnikova unpacks mental strategies that lead to clearer thinking and deeper insights. Drawing on twenty-first century neuroscience and psychology"-- "No fictional character is more renowned for his powers of thought and observation than Sherlock Holmes. But is his extraordinary intellect merely a gift of fiction, or can we learn to cultivate these abilities ourselves, to improve our lives at work and at home? We can, says psychologist and journalist Maria Konnikova, and in Mastermind she shows us how. Beginning with the "brain attic"--Holmes's metaphor for how we store information and organize knowledge--Konnikova unpacks the mental strategies that lead to clearer thinking and deeper insights. Drawing on twenty-first-century neuroscience and psychology, Mastermind explores Holmes's unique methods of ever-present mindfulness, astute observation, and logical deduction. In doing so, it shows how each of us, with some self-awareness and a little practice, can employ these same methods to sharpen our perceptions, solve difficult problems, and enhance our creative powers. For Holmes aficionados and casual readers alike, Konnikova reveals how the world's most keen-eyed detective can serve as an unparalleled guide to upgrading the mind. "--
