psilosiren 's review for:

You Are Not So Smart: Why You Have Too Many Friends on Facebook, Why Your Memory Is Mostly Fiction, and 46 Other Ways You're Deluding Yourself by David McRaney

4.0

This book is a fairly easy to read summary of a lot of common psychological phenomenon and heuristics. It puts the studies and the concepts into a format that can be understood by the layperson.

For the most part, the book keeps interest throughout the articles, although some of them do seem to drag out a little bit.

I think this book is a good read for anybody, really. There are many oddities to the human mind that most people aren't aware of, and this text can help make one a bit more aware of how your own brain can trick you sometimes.
