Description

An entertaining illumination of the stupid beliefs that make us feel wise, based on the popular blog of the same name.  

Whether youโ€™re deciding which smartphone to purchase or which politician to believe, you think you are a rational being whose every decision is based on cool, detached logic. But hereโ€™s the truth: You are not so smart. Youโ€™re just as deluded as the rest of usโ€”but thatโ€™s okay, because being deluded is part of being human.

Growing out of David McRaneyโ€™s popular blog, You Are Not So Smart reveals that every decision we make, every thought we contemplate, and every emotion we feel comes with a story we tell ourselves to explain them. But often these stories arenโ€™t true. Each short chapterโ€”covering topics such as Learned Helplessness, Selling Out, and the Illusion of Transparencyโ€”is like a psychology course with all the boring parts taken out.

Bringing together popular science and psychology with humor and wit, You Are Not So Smart is a celebration of our irrational, thoroughly human behavior. ISBN:9781592407361
