Philippe the purpose of this book is just to understand human flaws in its psychological core. its a fun way to have a quick look at scientific studies that have been conducted for the sole purpose of understanding the human mind and its mechanism. It won't help you achieve anything although it might explain some questions you ask yourself or even make you understand why some people act a certain way

Philippe I agree Benjamin, sometimes I do stop myself from thinking a certain way because I recognize the fact that its a bias thats clouding my judgement. Especially for confirmation bias.

FLJimmy It was engaging but this is part of a series and I have listened to them all - I came away with insight, some confusion, and the 'knowledge' that we humans are unlikely to change
