Jana Louise Smit

How to Kill an Earworm: And 500+ Other Psychology Facts You Need to Know came from Adams Media in April 2023, roughly 240 pages of short entries and quiz questions on matters like the doorway effect and the named fear of losing a phone. Jana Louise Smit reached it through trivia work. She wrote for Listverse, the veteran top-ten site, and for the introvert community blog Introvert, Dear. Born and raised in South Africa, she now freelances from the Eastern Cape. She claims no psychology credential, and the book gathers published research instead of reporting any of her own.
