The Irrational Ape: Why Flawed Logic Put Us All at Risk, and How Critical Thinking Can Save the World by David Robert Grimes

BATB score: 6.5/10 ⏰💣

Packed with psychological explanation and plenty of experimental and historical references to how flawed humans are. #400pages

Best to: know that humans are weird; we use conditional reasoning to form an opinion, engage in conformity completing a belief and then engross in red herring fallacy to avoid clashing topics #duh

Best for: and that's how Trump won the election, how MBTI / fortune tellers seem accurate, how juries make wrongful convictions, and how humans will bring the dooms to humans

Best as: more of a reference book on human psychological narration; every chapter can be read individually. yet, giving 100% credit to David Robert Grimes for such well-researched plus well-encapsulating real-life examples in one thick ass book

Random note: maybe reading a chapter per month would have been better
