Die Kunst des klaren Denkens - 52 Denkfehler, die Sie besser anderen überlassen

Rolf Dobelli, a Swiss writer and entrepreneur, collects fifty-two cognitive errors that distort our everyday decisions. Each chapter, only a few pages long, describes one thinking mistake, such as survivorship bias, confirmation bias, the sunk-cost fallacy, social proof, the availability bias, hindsight bias, and the illusion of control, with examples from business, science and daily life. He draws on research in psychology and behavioural economics, and offers ways to avoid each error, often by thinking in a more disciplined way.

Readers who enjoy short, practical books on psychology and decision-making will find it easy to dip into. It is for those who want a quick guide to recognising traps in their own reasoning, and who want better judgment at work and in life.

Growth-minded and clear-cut; an easy read.

Best for readers like The Practical Optimizer. Which reader are you?
