You Are Not So Smart Audiobook: 46 Ways We Delude Ourselves – Free Download

An entertaining illumination of the stupid beliefs that make us feel wise.

You believe you are a rational, logical being who sees the world as it really is, but journalist David McRaney is here to tell you that you’re as deluded as the rest of us. But that’s OK- delusions keep us sane. You Are Not So Smart is a celebration of self-delusion. It’s like a psychology class, with all the boring parts taken out, and with no homework.

Based on the popular blog of the same name, You Are Not So Smart collects more than 46 of the lies we tell ourselves everyday, including:
* Dunbar’s Number – Humans evolved to live in bands of roughly 150 individuals, the brain cannot handle more than that number. If you have more than 150 Facebook friends, they are surely not all real friends.
* Hindsight bias – When we learn something new, we reassure ourselves that we knew it all along.
* Confirmation bias – Our brains resist new ideas, instead paying attention only to findings that reinforce our preconceived notions.
* Brand loyalty – We reach for the same brand not because we trust its quality but because we want to reassure ourselves that we made a smart choice the last time we bought it.

Think Your Way to Wealth Audiobook: A Scholarly Analysis of Success Philosophy – Free Download

This audio treasury of wisdom. Think Your Way to Wealth captures Napoleon Hill’s first encounter with Andrew Carnegie, who revealed the money-attracting strategy that Hill later made popular in classic books like Think and Grow Rich and The Law of Success.
In 1908, while working as a reporter for an inspirational magazine, Hill landed an interview with industrial giant, Andrew Carnegie. Hill had just one key question for the magnate: What is the secret to your success? Carnegie’s response electrified Hill and launched him on a lifelong mission to distill the steps to success into a clear, definite protocol that could be used by any motivated person.
Think Your Way to Wealth captures Carnegie’s initial advice, how-to’s, practical steps, and concrete directions-all of which formed the basis for Hill’s groundbreaking books, and jump-started the field of business motivation.
