You Are Now Less Dumb: How to Conquer Mob Mentality, How to Buy Happiness, and All the Other Ways to Outsmart Yourself

Great book - delivering fascinating insights on how as people, we delude ourselves to our detriment and how we can overcome the lies we tell ourselves. Many of the insights are unique and thought provoking and not just the familiar advice you tend to read in many self-development books. McRaney describes himself as a Psychology geek but he's created a book which is accessible and easy to read for ordinary people who have an interest in Psychology and personal performance without necessarily being experts on the subjects. The book is divided into manageable chunks and whilst his light-hearted writing style might annoy some academics, I quite liked it!

all good

Not as good as the first book, felt like there were some recycled ideas from the first book. Would suit an audience that do not have a strong foundation in psychology and are looking to gain an introductory insight.

Buen libro

I love this book! It's a fascinating study of the unconscious mind and how we are moving through life, "making" decisions! When, in actual fact, much of the time our responses are simply automatic based on the stimuli offered/experienced. It really is eye opening to discover what our thoughts are comprised of, and where they come from....

Ich habe dieses Buch meinem besten Freund zu Weihnachten geschenkt, und er hat sich sehr gefreut :) Er liest nicht gerne, mit diesem Buch hat er sich jedoch direkt beschäftigt.

Um ótimo livro que todo mundo deveria ler e refletir. Já me sinto 1% menos burro =P. Recomendadíssimo. E já pretendo comprar os outros livros do autor.

Il libro è molto bello, specialmente dopo aver letto e apprezzato il primo "You are not so smart"...Aiuta a scoprire molti dei meccanismi nascosti con cui opera la nostra mente, spesso molto controintuitivi.Lettura consigliatissima ma...Ma c'è un ma: io avevo già acquistato "You can beat your brain" e credevo che questo fosse un nuovo libro di McRaney.Invece questo e "You can beat your brain" sono LO STESSO LIBRO, a seconda se pubblicato in Europa o in America!Pazienza, lo regalerò a qualcuno...
