David Scrimshaw reviewed Mindware by Richard E. Nisbett
Review of 'Mindware' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
No talking cats or talking rats.
In fact, no story at all.
It's non-fiction! Essays to help us think better and make better decisions. Stuff about cognitive biases and understanding statistics.
No need to follow math.
I mostly read it because I felt like sometimes I should try to improve myself a bit. Maybe I did. But one of the critical lessons is that we all have cognitive biases and think that they only affect other people.
