You are not so smart

Why You Have Too Many Friends on Facebook, Why Your Memory Is Mostly Fiction, and 46 Other Ways You're Deluding Yourself

Book • 2011

This book, based on David McRaney's popular blog, reveals how every decision, thought, and emotion comes with a story we tell ourselves, but often these stories are not true.

It covers topics such as Learned Helplessness, Selling Out, and the Illusion of Transparency, presenting them in a humorous and engaging way.

The book celebrates our irrational, human behavior and highlights the various ways we deceive ourselves about how we perceive, interpret, and construct our world.
