You Are Not So Smart by David McRaney is an entertaining book that sheds light on the stupid beliefs that make us feel wise. It reveals that every decision we make, every thought we contemplate, and every emotion we feel comes with a story we tell ourselves to explain them. The book covers topics such as Learned Helplessness, Selling Out, and the Illusion of Transparency, and brings together popular science and psychology with humor and wit. It is a celebration of our irrational, thoroughly human behavior.
