The author of the bestselling You Are Not So Smart gives readers a fighting chance at outsmarting their not-so-smart brains.

- 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”)
