Will I love You Are Not So Smart?

The author covers the many biases we all hold and how they influence our every decision as well as our interpretation of our observations.

Someone once said, "It is far easier to entertain than it is to educate." What McRaney pulls off with shocking ease in this book is that he provides a little education in an entertaining fashion. He explains the complex in a simple, understandable, and entertaining fashion.

McRaney makes a perfect cut between the simple without being base and the intellectual without being too professorial. He takes real-life situations, places you in them, gives you what you… show more.

In this book, David Macauley presents flaw after flaw of our reasoning and the many ways we trip ourselves up, illustrated with entertaining stories, fascinating research, and a sense of humor.

Many of my sketches tackle the cognitive biases (so many identified by Daniel Kahneman), logical fallacies, and heuristics that help us make sense of the world. I listened to the audiobook and immediately bought the paperback to read through it again.

David Macauley's book is popular science and smart thinking at its most entertaining and applicable. Great fun.
