A review by loganlangston
How We Decide by Jonah Lehrer
4.0
It took me a while to get into. The first 70% of the movie was just okay. it took me a while to get into. Interesting experiments and statistics. I was excited every time he started a paragraph with,"Take a look at this elegant experiment..." It reads like an article (considering Lehrer is a Journalist this make sense) which is perhaps why I had such a hard time getting into it. Scanning stories and aware of itself.
The the last thirty percent really blew me away. It opened my eyes to the beautifully complex human brain with all of it's short comings.
Lehrer does a great job of presenting all of this in an interesting way and bring the stories full circle, by revisiting them often. It gave me a lot to think about and made me hyper aware of my decisions, in a good way. I have found that I am now thinking about my thinking and seeing positive results about it.
I highlighted a ton of the last half of the book, there were just so many interesting facts that I felt could be applied in many different regions of my life, from work to activism.
It's definitely worth a read. I can't wait to check out his new book on creativity. I think I have a minor crush on Jonah Lehrer
