I can relate to a few occasions where I actually thought about a decision I made intuitively—and changed my mind about things. Having read about Dan’s studies made me aware of certain patterns, of how we think.

The book helped me drop a few irrationalities I wasn’t aware of before—but don’t expect it to change your life or something like that

How do you feel it’s affected your life thus far?
Does it take a stance on free will versus determinism.

Thanks for sharing. I might have to pick this one up. It’s tough being aware in this day and age.

Sincerely,
Bryan
