Аннотация

We are all masters of self-delusion. Every day we make decisions that aren’t based on logic, but rather stories. Stories that we tell ourselves about who we are, what we want and why we want it.

The Little Book of Stupidity is about these stories, from:

• Why you are always tricked into paying more
• How a piece of grilled-cheese sold for 28,000$
• Why the legal system will always be flawed
• Why we can never save money
• Why we can’t end unhealthy relationships
• Why you are biologically wired to be judgmental
• How a statistician saved countless American lives
• The real secret behind “being lucky”
• Why you should stop watching the new immediately
• Why more choices don’t make you happier

Best-selling author, Sia Mohajer, takes us on a journey through the statistics, experiments and psychology of stupidity to reveal one important fact – self-delusions are part of being human.

You will emerge from this journey – wiser, more compassionate and with a better understanding of yourself.
