Brain shortcuts and how to beat them: the missing manual

Everyone has a brain, and here’s the missing manual—the one they forgot to give you in school. Thankfully, understanding human psychology doesn’t have to be brain surgery. Instead of technical language, Handbook for Humans offers a simple visual guide to your most important personal tech device: our brains. It takes a fun and simple approach to understanding human nature through intuitive analogies, thought experiments, and over 200 illustrations.

By getting to know your brain, you’ll better understand yourself, other people, and the complex modern world. Along the way, you’ll learn to think smarter, become better at finding facts, make better decisions, and avoid common thinking shortcuts.
