SUMMARY - Brain Fart: Discover Your Flawed Logic, Failures In Common Sense And Intuition, And Irrational Behavior - How To Think Less Stupid By

Book excerpt: * Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. By reading this summary, you will learn what the most common thinking errors are and how to guard against them to avoid acting against your own interests. You will also learn : that reasoning is far more fallible than you think; that your emotions betray you; how you can influence the judgment of others; how advertisers push people to buy; why it is difficult to think objectively; how to make better decisions. We think we are free, driven only by logic and reason, but common sense is not as widespread as we would like to think. Decisions are too often made after flawed reasoning, "brain farts" to use the author's humorous trait, which car salesmen, for example, provoke abundantly to achieve their ends. Here's how to recognize them and try to avoid them. *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!
