I, being a psycho-anything skeptic, already looked into pretty much most of the myths, though #4, Visual Perceptions Are Accompanied by Tiny Emissions from the Eyes, was a new one. I disagree in part with #16, If You're Unsure of Your Answer When Taking a Test, It's Best to Stick with Your Initial Hunch. I think that unless you are not sure about any answer and have more confidence that your initial hunch is wrong, stick with it, but someday I'll read the references to see if I need to recalibrate my thinking.
The very good thing about this book that sets it apart from the last book I read (O'Reilly's fictional collaboration about a major religious figure)is that all the cites are there for the picking. If you don't buy into the debunking, or do and want to read more, the authors tell you where to find the studies/sources that they used to refute the myths.
Keeping this one handy in case I run into someone who think dreams actually have symbolic meaning or someone who thinks that holding anger in is bad.
