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.\u003cbr\u003eLike\u003ci\u003e You Are Not So Smart, \u003c\/i\u003eYOU 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.\u003cbr\u003eExpanding on this premise, McRaney provides eye-opening analyses of fifteen more ways we fool ourselves every day, including: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Misattribution of Arousal (Environmental factors have a greater effect on our emotional arousal than the person right in front of us)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunk Cost Fallacy (We will engage in something we don't enjoy just to make the time or money already invested worth it)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeindividuation (Despite out best intentions, we practically disappear when subsumed by a mob mentality)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eMcRaney 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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49564858974481,"sku":"GOR005463674","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50004580925713,"sku":"CIN1592408052VG","price":3.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50269535568145,"sku":"CIN1592408052G","price":3.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50582257795345,"sku":"GOR008746980","price":19.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1592408052.jpg?v=1751246000","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/you-are-now-less-dumb-book-david-mcraney-9781592408054","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
