The Psychology of Stupidity : Explained by Some of the Worlds Smartest People Marmion Jean-Franco (2022)

This book explores human stupidity through the insights of leading psychologists and thinkers, including Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, Alison Gopnik, Howard Gardner, Antonio Damasio, Aaron James, and Ryan Holiday. It examines why intelligent people sometimes believe complete nonsense, how lazy brains lead to poor decisions, why debating fools can be a trap, how media manipulation and excessive internet stimulation affect our thinking, and why the least intelligent people often do not recognize their own limitations. With wit and insight, the contributors offer ways to understand this persistent part of human behavior.
