Do You Think What You Think You Think? by Julian Baggini

A clear, engaging guide to how and why we form the beliefs we do, showing that many convictions come from habit, identity, emotion and social pressure rather than careful evidence; it explains common cognitive traps (confirmation bias, motivated reasoning, echo chambers), reveals how intuition and rhetoric can mislead, and offers practical techniques—asking better questions, testing assumptions, considering alternatives and cultivating intellectual humility—to help readers think more clearly and reach more reliable conclusions.
