Our thought lives have incredible power over our mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. In fact, our thoughts can either limit us to what we believe we can do or release us to experience abilities well beyond our expectations. When we choose a mindset that extends our abilities rather than placing limits on ourselves, we will experience greater intellectual satisfaction, emotional control, and physical health. The only question is... how?

Take this with a grain of salt
I appreciated the premise of the book and the points it made. I would have liked there to be more examples/applications of each argument. The narration was difficult to listen to (some sort of stuttering or broken sentence repetition). Overall, I liked the points made.

Listening to the narrator lessened my interest.
I think the paperback might be a better choice.
I really had a hard time listening to this one. No one is perfect but this is your product, and your narrator is a part of your marketing. Just being honest here. I couldn't tell if the chapters were being read by a computer or a really tired human.

Really lacking
The work makes tons of statements without any data to corroborate it. A quick search of the author's name turns up no credentials or information of any kind.
The reader pronounced the word "cognitive" as "cawgnateev" and it drove me nuts, considering the word is used in every other line in the first 4 chapters of the book.
The insights are barely insights and more common sense than anything else.
For someone with no critical thinking experience whatsoever it might be helpful--for everyone else, don't waste your money: There is nothing in this book that you can't Google and answer for yourself within 5 minutes.

author progressively erodes his credibility
The book starts out well with a somewhat scientific listing of cognitive biases. The author then quickly destroys his own credibility in 3 phases, 1) he makes a lot of anecdotal and culturally specific judgements about how these biases manifest and are experienced, 2) he says some ludicrously unfounded things about AI, 3) he makes claims about why some countries are more economically developed than others which are simply conjecture. Having heard him make these claims I had no further interest in what he had to say about the core topics .
