Die Kunst des klaren Denkens

New edition of the bestseller: completely revised, redesigned, with a large workbook section and numerous illustrations.

Our brains are optimised for life as hunters and gatherers. Today we live in a radically different world. This leads to systematic errors in thinking - which can be devastating for our finances, our careers and our happiness. Rolf Dobelli scrutinises the most treacherous thinking traps that we repeatedly fall into.
And so we learn

why we systematically overestimate our own knowledge (and think others are dumber than they are),
why something does not become more correct because millions of people believe it to be correct,
why we cling to theories even when they are demonstrably wrong.

Rolf Dobelli's texts are both extremely enriching in terms of content and a real pleasure to read.
Swiss author Rolf Dobelli's books don't just make you smarter, they actually make you happier. This is due to his pleasantly unagitated, profound advice.
Denis Scheck, Tagesspiegel

I not only read Rolf Dobelli's books, I let every word melt in my mouth.
