Our brain is not infallible, far from it. After all, it often leads us, without us even realizing it, to incorrect judgments and poor decisions in our professional or personal lives.
In this unique book, now read by millions of readers across the globe, Rolf Dobelli teaches us, in 52 short texts with clever examples, to identify and avoid "cognitive biases," the traps of the mind that we all risk falling into at any moment.
- Why do we systematically overestimate our abilities and knowledge?
- Why do we always say "yes" to likable people?
- Why do we prefer to have a faulty city map rather than no map at all?
It is a fact: understanding how and how easily we can be deceived gives us a clear advantage over others...
"Dobelli has both imagination and realism, a combination we haven't seen since the wise of the Renaissance". (Nassim Taleb, author of The Black Swan)
