Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
A ground-breaking book that reveals why our human biases effect the way we receive and interpret information
Our lives are minefields of misinformation. Stories, statistics and studies lie to us on a daily basis. Not only this but, as Professor Alex Edmans reveals, our brains lie to us too. He argues that we need to acknowledge and understand the role that our own human biases play in interpreting and digesting the information that we consume. It's only when we do, that we can actively resist being manipulated, and make informed decisions that improve our lives.

Wonderfully simple
Edmans draws on his wealth of professional and personal experience to help you see how easily we can be misled or mislead ourselves!!! Simple language and everyday situations from raising children, chess, sports and music made this book an easy listen when the topic could easily have been presented in a dry or abstract way. I particularly liked how he used his own preferences and biases to reveal how easily we can accept something. I’d like to read more of this author.
