What Makes Your Brain Happy and Why You Should Do the Opposite by David Disalvo
Why do we routinely choose options that don't meet our short term needs and undermine our long-term goals? Why do we insist we're right even when evidence contradicts us? Why are we prone to assigning meaning to statistically common coincidences? This book reveals a remarkable paradox: what your brain wants is frequently not what your brain needs.
David DiSalvo is a science, technology, and culture writer for Scientific American Mind, Psychology Today, and a number of other publications. He is the writer behind the well-regarded science blog Neuronarrative, which reaches more 100,000 readers in more than 200 countries.
