At last, stupidity explained! And by some of the world's smartest people, among them Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, Alison Gopnik, Howard Gardner, Antonio Damasio, Aaron James and Ryan Holiday. Stupidity is all around us, from the colleagues who won't stop hitting `reply all', to the former school friends posting conspiracy theories on Facebook. But in order to battle idiocy, we must first understand it. In 'The Psychology of Stupidity', some of the world's leading psychologists and thinkers will show you: why smart people sometimes believe in utter nonsense; how our lazy brains cause us to make the wrong decisions; and why trying to debate with fools is a trap.
