    Fear, then Humbleness
  

*by Z***J on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 16, 2016*

I was alarmingly reluctant to read this book. It is not pleasing feeling to find out how flawed we are -as human beings. It is not reassuring sense to know that your "great thinking" almost a product of a jumble of biases and fallacies.Then it was a moment of epiphany, as a sudden comforting sense of humbleness engulfed me. We are inherently evolving souls who are in a constant flux of change. This humbleness implies three life-changing lessons:1- No matter how strong your beliefs or opinions are, hold them weakly, and take them with a grain of salt. You do not know which biases you are succumbing to.2- Scientific methods are the only available tool so far to make distinction between facts and delusions. One caveat here: science is continuous process to figure out natural phenomena, so do not use it in reductionist way, not seeing the forest for the trees. It is all about engaging in the scientific discovery journey.3- Historically speaking, dogmas, rituals, supernatural beliefs, religions, and the like have played critical roles in our development and emergence as human beings. Although no ideology must be immune to critique, no matter how sacred or holy it is in the view of the followers. Viewing these in the context of human mind biases endows us a more balanced and a more human-centered perspective. This is the anthropologist viewpoint that gives us a sense of our shared human existence and the belonging to the same boat.

    Just as Witty, Insightful & Entertaining as His First One
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 13, 2013*

I'm a big fan of David's first book, You are Not So Smart and his latest, You are Now Less Dumb, does not disappoint.Just like his first book, David explains how we trick ourselves into thinking we are smarter than we are, in control, rational and reasonable. Of course, the twist with this book is he lets us in on how to overcome our human frailty by using our self-delusions to improve ourselves.I really love the way the book is laid out with the Misconception and then The Truth -- just like the first one. The book is well research (but not too stuffy or heady) with great stories, trivia and some pop culture thrown in to make it relatable and a joy to read.The examples and studies are what really drive home the points in the book. My favorite is The Post Hoc Fallacy, which deals with why we find it so difficult to believe that a sequence of events means nothing. This is the behavior behind lucky shirts, favorite meals, rituals and Power Balance bracelets. This section really illustrates the tendency of our minds to find patterns where none exist. That insight along is worth its weight in gold.You don't need to read his first book, You Are Not So Smart, to enjoy this book. Both books do stand-a-lone but are good complements to each other.Lets hope all of us become less dump so we can get on with living instead of worrying about how many acres we need to plant and tend to in FarmVille.

    Very enjoyable restaurant menu of pop psychology
  

*by S***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 19, 2015*

Looking at this as a pop psychology, as it's advertised, this is a very enjoyable and thought provoking book skimming the surface of several topics relating to how our minds can be irrational surprisingly often.Actually some of the more negative ratings on Amazon before I read the book actually helped me a lot reading in this book, as with any field the jargon can make word meanings be a little different, and the claim that the book is poorly edited made me look up a few words when I ran across them.  On that comes to mind was affective/effective.  Looking it up, the editing happens to be correct, but I was have assumed it was an error had I not read that review.  I might have learned more diving into that than the material itself in the book.In general, if you're looking for a menu of topics to read up on over the internet (not something I recommend if say, you're training to be in this field, but for entertainment purposes only) this is actually a fantastic read.  I'm looking forward to pulling the book out again to find a new topic that interests me and diving in.
