1. 1. How We Know What Isn't So

   The Fallibility of Human Reason in Everyday Life

   

   This book examines why people frequently form and cling to false beliefs despite contrary evidence. Drawing on research in cognitive psychology and behavioral decision-making, it shows how confirmation bias, illusory correlation, misperception of randomness, and neglect of regression to the mean lead us to see patterns and causal stories where none exist, as in beliefs about streaks in sports and other everyday domains. It explores social consequences such as stereotypes and unwarranted confidence, and explains how poor feedback and selective exposure entrench error. The final chapters offer practical ways to make better judgments, emphasizing statistical literacy, disconfirming tests, and structured decision processes.

2. 2. The Wisest One In The Room

   How You Can Benefit from Social Psychology's Most Powerful Insights

   

   A tour of social psychology that explains how perceptions and contexts shape behavior, why we misjudge others and ourselves, and how to use evidence-based insights to make better choices. It explores biases such as naive realism, attribution error, and overconfidence; shows how perspective-taking, humility, and small, targeted interventions can reduce conflict, improve relationships, and strengthen decisions; and offers practical guidance for more effective communication, persuasion, and policy design in everyday life.
