About this listen

'A world-class tune-up for your brain' – Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of Drive

Why do we think we’re better prepared for job interviews than we are? Why does no one act on climate change? Why do we over think when something bad happens to us?

Renowned psychologist Professor Woo-kyoung Ahn devised a course at Yale called 'Thinking' to help students examine the biases that cause people so many problems in their daily lives. It quickly became one of the university’s most popular courses. Now, in Thinking 101, she presents key insights from her years of teaching and research for the first time.

It’s well known that our minds are tripped up by error, cognitive bias and prejudice. But knowing that isn’t enough: the thinking problems still exist. In this insightful guide, Professor Woo-kyoung Ahn gives clear and practical steps to actually change our thinking.

The natural follow-up to Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow, Thinking 101 shows how we can improve not just our own daily lives through better awareness of our biases, but the lives of everyone around us. It is required listening for everyone who wants to think – and live – better.

'Wonderfully engaging' – Anna Rosling Rönnlund, bestselling co-author of Factfulness

Critic reviews

A world-class tune-up for your brain (Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of Drive)
Terrific. Ahn offers compelling, research-based ways to limit the unwanted impact of thinking problems (Robert Cialdini, bestselling author of Influence and Pre-Suasion)
An invaluable resource to anyone who wants to think better. In remarkably clear language, and with engaging and often funny examples, Woo-kyoung Ahn uses cutting-edge research to explain the mistakes we often make – and how to avoid them. (Gretchen Rubin, bestselling author of The Happiness Project)
Ahn uses wonderfully engaging examples to show how we can understand and improve our reasoning (Anna Rosling Rönnlund, bestselling co-author of Factfulness)
This book is not just a lucid overview of the cognitive traps that wreak havoc on your reasoning – it’s also an expert’s guide to rethinking how you think (Adam Grant, bestselling author of Think Again)
Thinking 101 is a must-read – a smart and compellingly readable guide to cutting-edge research into how people think. Building from her popular Yale course, Professor Woo-kyoung Ahn shows how a better understanding of how our minds work can help us become smarter and wiser – and even kinder (Paul Bloom, Suzanne Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Yale University, and the author of The Sweet Spot)
Thinking 101 combines the best science with practical advice to help you make better decisions. Ahn’s stories are spot-on, they are humorous, and they show us how thinking can be turned on itself to overcome the biases from, well, thinking! (Mahzarin Banaji, Professor of Psychology, Harvard University and co-author of Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People)
Accessible, engaging, and fun to read. Woo-kyoung Ahn . . . uses entertaining stories and examples to compellingly illustrate why thinking errors happen, why it matters, and what to do about it (Danny Oppenheimer, Professor at Carnegie Mellon University and author of Democracy Despite Itself)
Ahn’s book is an absorbing, timely — and I think essential — guide to how our minds go wrong and what we can do to think better. With lots of humorous stories and cautionary thinking tales, this terrifically-written book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand and overcome the powerful yet invisible thinking traps that lead us astray (Laurie Santos, Professor of Psychology at Yale University and host of The Happiness Lab podcast)
