An INVALUABLE RESOURCE to anyone who wants to think better. -Gretchen RubinAward-winning YALE
PROFESSOR Woo-kyoung Ahn delivers A MUST-READ-a smart and compellingly readable guide to
cutting-edge research into how people think. (Paul Bloom)A FUN exploration. -Dax Shepard
Psychologist Woo-kyoung Ahn devised a course at Yale called Thinking to help students examine
the biases that cause so many problems in their daily lives. It quickly became one of the
university's most popular courses. Now for the first time Ahn presents key insights from her
years of teaching and research in a book for everyone. She shows how thinking problems stand
behind a wide range of challenges from common self-inflicted daily aggravations to our most
pressing societal issues and inequities. Throughout Ahn draws on decades of research from
other cognitive psychologists as well as from her own groundbreaking studies. And she presents
it all in a compellingly readable style that uses fun examples from pop culture anecdotes from
her own life and illuminating stories from history and the headlines. Thinking 101 is a book
that goes far beyond other books on thinking showing how we can improve not just our own daily
lives through better awareness of our biases but also the lives of everyone around us. It is
quite simply required reading for everyone who wants to think-and live-better.
