McRaney reveals that every decision we make, every thought we contemplate, and every emotion we feel comes with a story we tell ourselves to explain them. But sometimes those stories aren't true.

Review of 'You are Not So Smart' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This book felt like an endless streak of slap in the face of every bias one might have. I think I might have checked all of them, even the one I didn't think I had. This book does a really good job in explaining our common bias by providing solid links to scientifics studies and real life examples that we can all relate too. It's a great read if you want to learn more about your behavior or why you act the way you act.
