    [synopsis] => 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.
