The Art of Thinking Clearly

Cognitive errors are systematic deviations from rational thinking and behavior, often leading to irrational decisions and assessing risks. The behavioral turn in neuroscience and economics has increased our understanding of how we think and make decisions. The Art of Thinking Clearly presents these known errors, offering guidance and insight into various situations. The book is organized into 100 chapters, each covering a single cognitive error, bias, or heuristic, such as Reciprocity, Confirmation Bias, The It-Gets-Better-Before-It-Gets-Worse Trap, and the Man-With-A-Hammer Tendency. It uses engaging prose and real-world examples to help solve the puzzle of human reasoning.
