David Robson, The Intelligence Trap, Psychology Books
How was a brilliant physics professor tricked into carrying 2kg of cocaine across the Argentinian border? Why do doctors misdiagnose 10 to 15% of their patients? Why do Nobel Prize winners spread fake news?
We assume that smarter people are less prone to error. But greater education and expertise can often amplify our mistakes while rendering us blind to our biases. This is the 'intelligence trap'.
Drawing on the latest behavioural science and historical examples from Socrates to Benjamin Franklin, David Robson demonstrates how to apply our intelligence more wisely; identify bias and enhance our 'rationality quotient'; read and regulate our emotions; fine-tune our intuition; navigate ambiguity and uncertainty; and think more flexibly about seemingly intractable problems.
The twenty-first century presents us with complex problems that demand a wiser way of thinking. Whether you are a NASA scientist or a school student, The Intelligence Trap offers a new cognitive toolkit to realise your full potential.

Fabulous

OH, GEORGE!!! 😮💨🫠 What a perfect friends to lovers summery romance. Fortune has become a fast favorite of mine to just make my heart ache. Yes, Frankie is oblivious, slow and frustrating at times but it was such a lovely, scenic and magical story! 🥰🥰🥰

predictable but enjoyable
Format: Kindle
Very obvious plot, but still enjoyed the character and storyline development. If you’re looking for a mindless, easy romance then I would recommend this.

This stuff really works — turns sunburn into a tan! ☀️🌺⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was skeptical, but this really does what it says! I got a little too much sun and used this right after showering no peeling, no pain, and within a day or two, my skin turned a gorgeous golden brown instead of burning. It feels soothing, smells great, and absorbs quickly without being sticky. Definitely a must-have for beach trips or after any sun exposure. I’ll never go without it again!

Saved My Skin and Left Me With a Tan (and I'm a Redhead!)
Disclosure: For the first week I did layer the Burn to Brown with Solar Recover Save Your Skin Spray
As a redhead who accidentally used 30 spf for a long weekend on the beach - this stuff 100% works!!! 3 months later and I still have a tan!!! Not only did it turn the burn to tan, it also cooled down my skin so I could sleep a little more comfortably! For the first week I used both the Burn to Brown lotion (which I prefer for it's cooling effect) and Solar Recovery spray (which I believe helped more with peeling). Would 100% buy both again, especially if you're like me and spend every free moment at the beach despite your fair skin. I used generously multiple times a day after my horrible burn and still had half a bottle left.
