Discover Your Delusions: You Are Not So Smart dives into the stupid beliefs that make us feel wise, revealing that we all think we are rational beings making logical decisions. But the truth is, we are just as deluded as everyone else - and that's perfectly okay. Through short chapters on topics like learned helplessness and the illusion of transparency, this book is like a psychology course without the boring parts. Combining humor, wit, and popular science, it celebrates our thoroughly human, irrational behavior.
