Easy to read, but dated at this time.... written in 2011, much of what he is saying is now so common knowledge that I found it almost boring. Not his fault as a writer. Though, I feel anyone with any level of self-awareness already knows this stuff- just not the language to talk about it. We can now say "confirmation bias" because of this type of research, but we have always known what it is and how it works- just didn't yet have the words.

This book reveals a remarkable paradox: what your brain wants is frequently not what your brain needs. In fact, much of what makes our brains "happy" leads to errors, biases, and distortions, which make getting out of our own way extremely difficult. Author David DiSalvo presents evidence from evolutionary and social psychology, cognitive science, neurology, and even marketing and economics. And he interviews many of the top thinkers in psychology and neuroscience today. From this research-based platform, DiSalvo draws out insights that we can use to identify our brains' foibles and turn our awareness into edifying action. Ultimately, he argues, the research does not serve up ready-made answers, but provides us with actionable clues for overcoming the plight of our advanced brains and, consequently, living more fulfilled lives.
