Description
Think you’re rational? Think again
‘Want to get smarter quickly? Read this book.’
‘Simply wonderful. An engaging and useful guide to how our brilliant brains can go badly wrong.’
‘Populist and funny.’
‘A much-needed field guide to the limits of our so-called consciousness. McRaney presents a witty case for just how witless we all are.’
‘Every chapter is a welcome reminder that you are not so smart-yet you're never made to feel dumb. You Are Not So Smart is a dose of psychology research served in tasty anecdotes that will make you better understand both yourself and the rest of us. It turns out we're much more irrational than most of us think, so give yourself every advantage you can and read this book.’
‘Fascinating... After reading this book, you'll never trust your brain again.’
