The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli | Book report

Do you have a dirty mind? No, not those salacious thoughts about how nice that sexy guy/lady looked in those tight jeans earlier today. I'm talking about all the heuristics and unexamined beliefs that are hanging around in that lovely brain of yours and polluting your thinking.

The truth is that we all fall prey to logical fallacies and cognitive biases more often than we realise and although we can't remove them all completely, there's a lot we can do to improve our thinking, do a bit of Feng shui on our beliefs and have a more beautiful mind. Change starts with awareness.

The Art of Thinking Clearly is the first book I ever read about logical fallacies and critical thinking skills. There are many other books on this topic but I share this one because it's not in the academic style and it is very applicable for life. See if this review inspires you to read The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli.
