"How to reason better -- to live better -- the pre-req for life" -- cover.
Psychologist Woo-kyoung Ahn devised a course at Yale called “Thinking” to help students examine the biases that cause so many problems in their daily lives. It quickly became one of the university’s most popular courses. In Ahn’s class, students examine “thinking problems”—like confirmation bias, causal attribution, and delayed gratification—and how they contribute to our most pressing societal issues and inequities. Now, for the first time, Ahn presents key insights from her years of teaching and research in a book for everyone.

Really Interesting and Helpful submitted by pjaynes on August 4, 2023, 12:51pm In this book, Ahn covers biases and other "thinking problems" of the human brain. It's really interesting and helpful, especially for people who don't have a background in psychology. Ahn delivers the information in a really approachable way, and she provides insights into how these thinking problems lead to larger societal issues.
