David McRaneyYou are Not So Smart

Thus book is a must read for those who want to understand the intricacies of how our thinking is influenced on the basis of our interactions with the world around us. It forces us to believe that we humans are conditioned to think in biases which are inherent in our brains from the time of evaluation. It also helps to increase the level of awareness that can come handy to analyze similar situations in the future

I Recieved the book in good condition but since when did amazon stopped giving bookmarks and like why?

You can look for the excerpts on the net and get convinced to buy it. There won't be any regrets.

The title of this brilliant book is rather deceptive, in two respects. One, it’s not an insult; in the sense, it isn't so much a humblingexperience as it is a journey towards mental awakening. And two, that isn't the entire title of the book. The full title is actually “You Are Not So Smart: Why You Have Too Many Friends on Facebook, Why Your Memory Is Mostly Fiction, and 46 Other Ways You’re Deluding Yourself”.The book is a must read for anyone even remotely interested in understanding the curious ways in which we sometimes behave. We often think we behave in the most rational ways possible when it comes to ordinary decisions such as say buying a smartphone. But you’d be amazed with the numerous illogical ways in which your brain routinely misleads you.In a nutshell a psychology textbook with all the boring bits taken out.

really liked how the author has cited real research. This is not a scientific publication and the author has his own bias.But none the less the concepts are very interesting and made e think.So i will recommend this book

If I were told that I would lose all my books collection but could keep one, this one would be it. I read this book once a year lest I forget.Great Book

This book just does as its headlines says make you doubt your perspective and approach towards different situations and problems

A must read book for those who think they're really smart. Well, I was one of them! 😂 . .

Right now I am highly interested, in mental models and human behaviours. This book covers a little bit of both by explaining all the bias that makes us not so smart. Interesting read.

¡Librazo! Una forma súper potente de aprender sobre cómo funcionamos como personas a nivel social e individual. Un libro que cambia la perspectiva sobre cómo nos vemos, cómo nos valoramos y cómo nos movemos diariamente.Cada capítulo es breve pero conciso al explicar distintas "distorsiones" cognitivas con las que lidiamos día a día y en efecto la manera más sencilla (Que yo he encontrado) para entender que no soy tan listo como pensaba.

Great reading. The author keeps it simple and straight. He uses examples that makes easy to understand how our minds play tricks on daily basis.

When you didn't get enough of "You're Not as Dumb..." there is this! Another great study of how our mind arrive at the "decisions" that they do... the author is very informative, and writes with much humour. I highly recommend this book!

Il libro è di sicuro interesse, mette in mostra qualcosa che fa parte di noi e di cui non ci accorgiamo.A tratti è sconvolgente, bello davvero e ben fatto, avrei preferito qualche dettaglio in più sulle fonti usate.
