A fantastic book that starts from a skeptical neuroscientists’ viewpoint. Deep dives into human cognition and a great primer for those looking to explore neuroscience.
An amazing book on memory. The biggest takeaway is how expansive the human mind truly is how necessary it is to use the strengths of the structure of the brain to your advantage.
For those of you like me that gave up after Calculus and relegated math as ‘not fun’, this book is brilliant. Very tactical advice on how to use math tools in everyday thinking.
From the Freakonomics guys. In this book, they study the similar ways of thinking, problem solving and idea formation of the outliers they’ve come across over the years.
Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness CASS SUNSTEIN, RICHARD THALER
This is the first book that got me so interested in hacking the brain. A wealth of psychology studies, behavioral economics and theories on how to apply this knowledge to improve human actions.
Peer into the mind of the man who helps Warren Buffet make decisions. Munger’s ‘latticework of mental models’ will have a huge impact on how you view intelligence.
Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion ROBERT CIALDINI
One of the classic books on applied psychology. Required reading for anyone running a business. Raise your hand if you want to be more persuasive. Yep, I thought so.
