Marcus and I went to college together and were in the same program, so it’s fun to see some of the things we learned in college show up in this exploration of the foibles of the human brain and human cognition. Marcus uses sensible real world examples as well as citations from real science to explain some of the weird things our brain does and offers some ideas about why it might be that way. He wraps up with some suggestions for ways to think your way out of some common problems which seemed useful if a little overly-optimistic.
