Rarely do we bother to question what "everyone" knows, let alone check whether common beliefs are supported by good research. But Alfie Kohn has systematically investigated how much wisdom there is in folk wisdom. The result is some- times unsettling but always fun to read. You Know What They Say... is witty and well researched, packed with surprising facts that readers will soon be quoting to their friends.
