Fred Leavitt Email & Phone Number

I have written several books: on research methodology in psychology and medicine; on both legal and illegal drugs; and, most recently, a philosophy book on radical skepticism (Dancing with Absurdity) and a novel (The Billionaire's Game).Following are some comments on my books:The Deep Uncertainty of Existence provokes more thoughtfulness than the ordinary book, which spreads its peaks or arcs out over several pages. This book just keeps coming at you. Leavitt is like a lightweight boxer who hits like a heavyweight: continuous flurries of punches, each one with mind-rattling effect. It's a rush. ~ Art Twain, President, Art Twain Creative Services Fred Leavitt's special brilliance is convincing us that our "betters" are not that smart after all. Leavitt bulldozes various philosophical constructs, then merrily guides us through the wreckage - without ever condescending to the reader. He gradually convinces us that we are as clever as he is, and that is quite clever indeed. ~Glynn Washington, PBS show, Snap Judgment“I was astounded to read about the abuse and misuse in the legal drug industry.” ~Delvin Williams, former all-pro running back for the San Francisco 49ers“Information that will be useful to anyone who has ever taken or is tempted to take so much as an aspirin.” ~Barry Gifford, novelist and screenwriter“As your book so clearly shows, money drives the war on drugs just as it drives a dangerous pharmaceutical industry and a medical profession that too often neglects its Hippocratic Oath for the sake of money.” ~Eugene Oscapella, barrister and solicitor, Canadian Foundation for Drug PolicyI've given lectures to doctors for their Continuing Medical Education credits. My primary topics have been medical screening tests, expectation effects, medical decision-making, improving diagnoses, communicating with patients, and healing environments.If anyone cares to link web pages with me, let's do it.
