Abstract

Unser Gehirn ist für ein Leben als Jäger und Sammler optimiert. Heute leben wir in einer radikal anderen Welt. Das führt zu systematischen Denkfehlern - die verheerend sein können für Ihr Geld, Ihre Karriere, Ihr Glück. Wer weiß, wie leicht man sich irren kann, ist besser gewappnet: Rolf Dobelli nimmt die tückischsten "Denkfallen" unter die Lupe, in die wir immer wieder tappen. Und so erfahren wir,- warum wir unser eigenes Wissen systematisch überschätzen (und andere für dümmer halten, als sie sind),- warum etwas nicht deshalb richtiger wird, weil Millionen von Menschen es für richtig halten,- warum wir Theorien nachhängen, selbst wenn sie nachweislich falsch sind.Rolf Dobellis Texte sind nicht nur inhaltlich ausgesprochen bereichernd, sie sind ein echtes Lesevergnügen.

Abstract

An entertaining illumination of the stupid beliefs that make us feel wise, based on the popular blog of the same name.   Whether you’re deciding which smartphone to purchase or which politician to believe, you think you are a rational being whose every decision is based on cool, detached logic. But here’s the truth: You are not so smart. You’re just as deluded as the rest of us—but that’s okay, because being deluded is part of being human. Growing out of David McRaney’s popular blog, You Are Not So Smart reveals that every decision we make, every thought we contemplate, and every emotion we feel comes with a story we tell ourselves to explain them. But often these stories aren’t true. Each short chapter—covering topics such as Learned Helplessness, Selling Out, and the Illusion of Transparency—is like a psychology course with all the boring parts taken out. Bringing together popular science and psychology with humor and wit, You Are Not So Smart is a celebration of our irrational, thoroughly human behavior.

Abstract

When was the last time you truly came up with a great idea? An idea which changed the direction of your sector, never mind your company? Creativity has been turned into an uncreative, pale imitation of itself. Today our brain tricks us into thinking that we're creative when we really aren't. Our potential is greater than we're aware of, but the risk of getting stuck in comfortable thinking is far greater than we tend to think.

Abstract

If History is written by the victors then this is His-Story, as corrected by the losers. The Parable of His-Story is a telling of the age where men have been in charge. Inspired by ideas of feminism and spirituality, it suggests that eternal rules are temporary examples of a one sided story, repeatedly told to glorify the masculine and denigrate the feminine. Charting the origin of this story at the dawn of civilization, the book details how his-story spread across the world through successive masculine-driven empires and affected our ideas of sex, gender, sexuality and race.
