Another really interesting pick by Book Cellar. The authors \u2013 software engineer and writer Kevin Simler and economics professor Robin Hanson \u2013 start from the premise that we are often unaware of the real reasons for our behaviours: they go through several examples, explaining them through that framework of signalling and self-deception. Meaty and interesting. (The publisher’s website describes the book as aiming “to track down the darker, unexamined corners of our psyches and blast them with floodlights”.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
