No book has ever revealed how biased we can be when we think. Rolf has done a wonderful job! Will definitely give it a second read.
callentha's review against another edition
Way too many chapters. I would have preferred fewer chapters but these with more examples and more details. Over 100 chapters felt like a enumeration and really like a book. So it got boring for me because in no way can you remember what’s told.

Clear and concise. This book offers much illumination on the subject of cognitive biases. What is crucial is that Dobelli does not condemn them. He accepts them as a fact of life, but advocates that we be aware of their effects on our thinking and decision making.

This book should be called "Everything You Think You Know is a Lie" or "Things You Don't Want to Know Because Everything Means Nothing."
It was interesting, but just made me feel sad. Basically, you're never really thinking rationally or clearly, and if you are, you're a robot. The book is a breakdown of all the psych/social theories and how they impact us/the world. Basically, everything is random and life is a mess. You can't really believe your own mind.
Hard words to read.
