What Makes Your Brain Happy and Why You Should Do the Opposite: Updated and Revised by David DiSalvo
Easy to read, but dated at this time.... written in 2011, much of what he is saying is now so common knowledge that I found it almost boring. Not his fault as a writer. Though, I feel anyone with any level of self-awareness already knows this stuff- just not the language to talk about it. We can now say "confirmation bias" because of this type of research, but we have always known what it is and how it works- just didn't yet have the words.
A great book about the pitfalls of human logic, decision making and emotion.
Unfortunately, the author merely drops facts or studies, too many of them, to quickly moving to the next, just faintly brushing on the meaning of each.
So it leaves me with an impression of being a bit on the shallow side.
