“We cannot say what makes us succeed, but we can say what hinders our success or leads us to failure.” Rolf Dobelli
• Why is the first impression rarely the right one?
• Why do we often blame the ambitious?
• Why do we always think that others think like us...
It is so easy to make mistakes by letting our brain deceive us, this old organ that we have inherited from our ancestors, the hunters and gatherers. Based on the latest scientific research about the brain, Rolf Dobelli teaches us, in 52 short entertaining texts, to develop more practical thinking to act more wisely.
How? By learning to recognize and cancel out “cognitive biases,” these mental traps that we are all at risk of falling into from one day to the next, whether in our private or professional lives, which often lead us to make wrong decisions.
With Rolf Dobelli, you will learn how to avoid these dead-end roads, so you don’t bang your head against the wall. From the author of the bestseller The Art of Clear Thinking. If you want to learn how cognitive biases keep you from a better life, you should read Rolf Dobelli’s amazing book on human irrationality.
John Gray, professor at the London School of Economics and author of the bestseller Straw Dogs.
