Description
"A serious examination of the faulty reasoning that leads to repeated mistakes by individuals, businesses, and nations... In this fascinating book, Dobelli does not offer a recipe for happiness but a well-considered treatise on avoiding 'self-induced unhappiness.'" -- Booklist (starred review)
The Art of Thinking Clearly by world-class thinker and entrepreneur Rolf Dobelli is an eye-opening look at human psychology and faulty reasoning β an essential book for anyone who wants to improve their decision-making, avoid "cognitive errors," and make better choices in all aspects of their lives.
Have you ever: invested time in something that, with hindsight, just wasnβt worth it? Or continued doing something you knew was bad for you? These are examples of cognitive biases, simple errors we all make in our day-to-day thinking. But by understanding these mental models and how to spot them, we can avoid them and make better decisions.
Simple, clear, and always surprising, this indispensable book will change the way you think and transform your decision-makingβwork, at home, every day. It reveals, in 99 short chapters, the most common errors of judgment, and how to avoid them.
Learn to spot the mental traps that derail your thinking every day:
- Survivorship Bias: Why we systematically overestimate our chances of success and how visiting the "graveyards" of failed projects can clear our minds.
- Sunk Cost Fallacy: The mental trap that makes us continue with a project or relationship, even when itβs a lost cause, just because weβve invested so much.
- Confirmation Bias: Uncover the mother of all misconceptions and learn why we actively filter new information to fit our existing beliefs.
- The Anchoring Effect: Discover how irrelevant numbers, from a wheel of fortune to your Social Security digits, can dramatically influence your decisions.
- Critical Thinking Tools: Go beyond simply knowing what these biases are and learn practical ways to avoid them and transform your choices at work and at home.
