You Are Not So Smart --- by --- David McRaney What an odd, curious book with an intriguing title and an amateurish looking cover. But don’t let those put you off. This little book is both informative and entertaining at the same time. This is no long, drawn out and drowsy book to keep at bedside to help you sleep. Rather this offering is divided into snappy, manageable sections (they’re hardly big enough to be called chapters) that could almost be the basis for a TV game show or a home parlour game. Author McRaney is a self-styled psychology nerd so you can imagine what “Not So Smart” has in store for you: You Are One Person and Your Happiness is Based on Your Being Content; You See Everything Going on Before You Eyes, Taking In All the Information Like a Camera; and Problems are Easier to Solve When a Group of People Get Together to Solve Them. McRaney demolishes these commonly held notions as he does the others in this book. Fun to read, accessible, this book is bound to bring your face a smile as you find your own beliefs debunked.
