A two-time winner of the William Randolph Hearst Award, journalist David McRaney writes the blog youarenotsosmart.com. A self-described psychology nerd, he lives in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
"Every chapter is a welcome reminder that you are not so smart-yet
you're never made to feel dumb. You Are Not So Smart is a dose of
psychology research served in tasty anecdotes that will make you
better understand both yourself and the rest of us. It turns out
we're much more irrational than most of us think, so give yourself
every advantage you can and read this book." — Alexis Ohanian,
Co-Founder of Reddit.com
"You Are Not So Smart is the go-to blog for understanding why we
all do silly things." — Lifehacker.com
"You'd think from the title that it might be curmudgeonly; in fact,
You Are Not So Smart is quite big-hearted." — Jason Kottke,
Kottke.org
"In an Idiocracy dominated by cable TV bobbleheads, government
propagandists, and corporate spinmeisters, many of us know that
mass ignorance is a huge problem. Now, thanks to David McRaney's
mind-blowing book, we can finally see the scientific roots of that
problem. Anybody still self-aware enough to wonder why society now
worships willful stupidity should read this book." -David Sirota,
author of Back to Our Future: How the 1980s Explain the World We
Live In Now
