Story
In Super Bowl XLIX, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made one of the most controversial calls in football history: With 26 seconds remaining, and trailing by four at the Patriots' one-yard line, he called for a pass instead of a handing off to his star running back. The pass was intercepted, and the Seahawks lost. Critics called it the dumbest play in history. But was the call really that bad? Or did Carroll actually make a great move that was ruined by bad luck? Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time.

Publisher's Summary
The world is a scary place. And your brain is trying to make sense of it 24/7/365.
Your brain also loves making shortcuts, even if good judgement and logic is thrown out the window. Sometimes it doesn’t have time to calculate all of the potential possibilities, outcomes, consequences, and results. So it makes a quick decision. And sometimes, that decision can be done too quickly.
These quick judgements are called cognitive biases (or heuristics or logical fallacies).
You will look back at the past and think you knew it all along. You will assume you know things going forward. You will make guesses about people or places when you have very little real-world exposure to them. And 14 other massive brain failures you commit every single day.
That’s what this book aims to tackle: the 17 worst ways that your brain is ruining your life and your success. This audiobook with shed like on exactly what you're doing and how to overcome each bias so you can become more successful, even if just by a little bit. This audiobook will also discuss how you can overcome these biases so you can live a happier and more successful life.

Few of us take the time to consider. We act according to data acquired by viewing the world from a single perspective: our own. As a result, we don't always think to ask certain questions that, when answered, may benefit us greatly. We don't do important things because we never think them worth doing. We don't assess unfamiliar facets of life, even though such scrutiny might change everything about how we live.

Story
What do you do when you're faced with a big decision? If you're like most people, you probably make a pro and con list, spend a lot of time obsessing about decisions that didn't work out, get caught in analysis paralysis, endlessly seek other people's opinions to find just that little bit of extra information that might make you sure, and finally go with your gut.

Do you wish life came with a "do over" button? Are you in desperate need of change, but fail to act when it comes to actually changing? Do any of the following sentences sound like you? What if I told you that you didn't need tons of willpower to change the direction of your life? What if I told you that a few subtle shifts in the way you think could mean the difference between staying stuck and living the life of your dreams? Don't worry. This book won't tell you to simply "set goals" or "dream big!" Those words sound nice, but they don't actually change anything.

Have you ever wondered what separated you from the highly successful people? Is it because of their "luck"? Or could it be they were in the right place at the right time? While many people believe at least one of those circumstances to be the case, the truth of the matter is that the only difference which separates the highly successful from the rest of us is their daily routine and their mindset.

Story
Science writer David DiSalvo reveals a remarkable paradox: what your brain wants is frequently not what your brain needs. In fact, much of what makes our brains "happy" leads to errors, biases, and distortions, which make getting out of our own way extremely difficult. DiSalvo's search includes forays into evolutionary and social psychology, cognitive science, neurology, and even marketing and economics - as well as interviews with many of the top thinkers in psychology and neuroscience today.
