    Each link below takes you directly to the section you need.

    1. 📘 DEBUNK (eBook) — Your complete guide to clear critical thinking.

  • 📄Shareable Handouts — A Member Bonus

    These one-page guides are designed for sharing — simple, trusted tools you can print and pass along to family and friends.
    As a member, you get exclusive access to every version as soon as they’re updated, so you’re always sharing the most current information.
    Tip: For best results, choose ‘Actual size’ (100%) when printing.

    Don’t Get Bunked! uses “✔ IFCN-Verified” to note outlets that participate in an international standards program for transparent methods and corrections. Learn more in the "What is the IFCN" one-pager below.

    These documents open in a new tab or window (depends on browser setting). When you're done, just close the new tab or window to return here.

    You’re welcome to copy and share these handouts freely. Please include the website: DontGetBunked.com so others can find their own free guides.

  • 📘 Free Book Sites

    As I discuss in my book, for a real foundation of knowledge that will help you become your own debunker, there is no substitute for the reading of books (especially nonfiction). Also be sure to see For Further Reading in my book DEBUNK for my own list of recommended books.

    I am a fan of libraries, where you can also make unexpected discoveries of books not on anyone's list, but in the interest of making it easy to find and read books, I provide this list of lists!

    Please let me know if I missed any good ones. Thanks, and happy reading!
