You Are Now Less Dumb by David Mcraney

You Are Now Less Dumb by David Mcraney

David McRaney's first book, You Are Not So Smart, evolves from his wildly popular blog of the same name. A mix of popular psychology and trivia, McRaney's insights have struck a chord with thousands, and his blog-and now podcasts and videos-have become an internet phenomenon.
Like You Are Not So Smart, YOU ARE NOW LES DUMB is grounded in the idea that we all believe ourselves to be objective observers of reality-except we're not. But that's okay, because our delusions keep us sane.
Expanding on this premise, McRaney provides eye-opening analyses of fifteen more ways we fool ourselves every day, including:

• The Misattribution of Arousal (Environmental factors have a greater effect on our emotional arousal than the person right in front of us)
• Sunk Cost Fallacy (We will engage in something we don't enjoy just to make the time or money already invested worth it)
• Deindividuation (Despite out best intentions, we practically disappear when subsumed by a mob mentality)

McRaney also reveals the true price of happiness, why Benjamin Franklin was such a badass, and how to avoid falling for our own lies. This smart and highly entertaining audiobook will be wowing listeners for years to come.

David McRaney is an author, journalist, lecturer, and the creator of the blog You Are Not So Smart, which became an internationally bestselling book, later followed by You Are Now Less Dumb. David currently hosts the popular YANSS podcast and speaks internationally about irrational thinking and delusion. Before finding internet fame, David graduated with a degree in journalism from The University of Southern Mississippi and cut his teeth covering Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast and in the Pine Belt region of the Deep South. He has been a beat reporter, an editor, a photographer, voiceover artist, television host, digital content manager, and everything in between.
