    Have you ever thought you were making a perfectly logical choice, only to find yourself doing something entirely irrational? You're not alone. Every day, people all over the world struggle to make rational choices, and simply learning why could be the key to thinking clearly.

    Even when we think we're making a good choice, our minds have countless different ways to manipulate our thought processes and lead us to entirely unintended decisions. Psychologists call these "cognitive errors," and in The Art of Thinking Clearly, you'll not only discover what they are, but you'll learn how to prepare against them, helping you to keep your mind clear and focused to make rational judgments.

    You will learn:

    · Why you shouldn't always pay attention to what you hear on the news

    · How your mind makes you think your personal experience is universal truth

    · Why advertisers love cognitive errors, and how they use them to trick you every day.

      book

      What’s it about?

      From time to time, we’ve all found ourselves having trouble focusing on decisions. Be it the tiny choices we make day to day, or the big decisions that may define our careers—our minds sometimes struggle to take the logical choice, even when we should be well-aware that what we’re doing isn’t the right decision. Why is this? What’s wrong with the way our minds work?

      Psychologists call this kind of illogical thinking cognitive error, and it happens to every human being on the face of the planet. Many of these tiny errors are actually related and combine with each other to lead us through thought patterns that are illogical, harmful, and, worst of all, easily manipulated. Luckily, one of the best ways to defend against these kinds of errors is to become aware of them, and The Art of Thinking Clearly is here to help.

      This book outlines the irrational way your brain works, helping you to overcome common cognitive errors and achieve a clear mind. It won’t teach you how to focus on your tasks, but it will teach you how not to focus on anything but your tasks—letting you think clearly and rationally, and ensuring you can’t be taken advantage of as easily. These errors aren’t random—they’re regularly made mistakes that every human makes,
