Why We Make Mistakes: How We Look Without Seeing, Forget Things in Seconds, and Are All Pretty Sure We Are Way Above Average

An image of the cover of the book "Why We Make Mistakes: How We Look Without Seeing, Forget Things in Seconds, and Are All Pretty Sure We Are Way Above Average"

Another book about behavioral science and social psychology. It’s an entertaining read, but doesn’t really break new ground. It’s basically a bunch of chapter of themes, each of which is a bunch of anecdotes stacked on each other, a la Gladwell.
