On Second Thought

This book is full of the type of psychology studies that make me really question the validity of psychology as a scientific discipline. There is surely something to the idea that decision making process is susceptible the bad influence of evolved mental heuristics, but I feel like that concept is stretched to the breaking point here.

Several of the studies in the book are found here http://psychfiledrawer.org/ in the “couldn't replicate” category which is, in case you're wondering, not a good place to be.
