Many scientific and philosophical ideas are so powerful that they can be applied to our lives at home, work, and school to help us think smarter and more effectively about our behavior and the world around us. Surprisingly, many of these ideas remain unknown to most of us. In Mindware, the world-renowned psychologist Richard Nisbett presents these ideas in clear and accessible detail, offering a tool kit for better thinking and wiser decisions.

He has made a distinguished career of studying and teaching such powerful problem-solving concepts as the law of large numbers, statistical regression, cost-benefit analysis, sunk costs and opportunity costs, and causation and correlation, probing how best to teach others to use them effectively in their daily lives. In this groundbreaking book, he shows that a course in a given field - statistics or economics, for example - often doesn't work as well as a few minutes of more practical instruction in analyzing everyday situations.

Mindware shows how to reframe common problems in such a way that these powerful scientific and statistical concepts can be applied to them. The result is an enlightening and practical guide to the most powerful tools of reasoning ever developed - tools that can easily be used to make better professional, business, and personal decisions.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

It is a must read and makes so much sense. The performance it is also brilliant.

I absolutely love this book.

Mind ware starts off strong, starts to drag, and really picks up toward the end. The real gems of the book are the insights into Dialectical Reasoning and Formal Logic, plus the scientific revolutions.
The only snag is the narration by Joe Barrett is much less than compelling. His smoky and overly quiet voice creates an almost sleepy feeling in the listener.
However, the book is excellent and has some valuable insights for this listener.

Excellent introduction to logic and epistemology

Richard puts across a very practical and interesting collection of tools for better interoperating the barrage of information we get in everyday life.

However the book starts to become very in depth and feels like the author's ego is running wild with continuous self promotion and jaunts into partly irrelevant specialisms.

Very interesting

Tools for rational thinking and healthy scepticism, to think about the many claims we hear around us more effectively... the theory is good, unfortunately the author fails to apply it in many of the examples given, that often end with abrupt, unsubstantiated, dubious claims by the author.
Still good, because this book helps you take the book itself with a grain of salt.

Narrator has a nasal voice, a bit annoying, but it didn't bother me much.

Good lessons, but some examples are off.
