How to be Trustworthy is a highly readable and thought-provoking study of trust and trustworthiness that is philosophically and conceptually sophisticated. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of trust and social epistemology more generally, one that encompasses a much broader range of social and cognitive phenomena that are relevant to this topic than is usually recognised.
