Great book! Highly recommend to anyone interested in learning more about cognitive biases! (And who doesn't wanna commit to Thinking Fast and Slow by Kahneman which is yes much more detailed but also much more academic and denser)
With my own background I knew most of what the author was talking about (down to the exact studies she was citing), which is why I didn't take as much away from the book as I wished but I loved the way she drew connections between the biases and our everyday life in an extremely skilled and relatable manner - hat off for that!
