OutsmartYourShelf

If you've ever wondered how you can drive yourself somewhere & yet not remember any of the journey, then this is the book for you. Alongside 40 or so other phenomena such as the Bystander Effect & Confirmation Bias, it also deals with how to spot the fallacies & ad hominems in your own & other people's arguments.

It was an interesting book, around 40 short chapters dealing with aspects of the human psyche & personality. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf Can't say I agree with all of it, & there was a tendency to deal in absolutes, but it was thought-provoking. It probably works best as a book you can dip in & out of, rather than reading it straight through, as it does start to become samey if you do that.
3.5🌟

Do you wanna listen to Bill Nye talk about science with a smattering of Dad jokes? Then do I have the audiobook for you!

Enough with nonsense word salad. Be gone! 😂

The title is the only good part of this book.

4/80

Carl Sagan was a professor, and in the first few chapters of this book, he told stories about the professors who influenced and supported him to be the scientist he was.
