Synopsis

This book explores everyday frustrations and setbacks, from spending too long on a PowerPoint presentation to losing sight of what makes you happy, missing long-term goals, or reacting strongly to queuing, tax, or parking tickets. It also considers why people sometimes break promises they believed they would keep.

Drawing on long-standing questions about what it means to live a good life, it offers a set of mental models intended to support wiser thinking and better decisions. The book presents fifty-two intellectual shortcuts designed to improve your chances of living well, without claiming to provide a single, simple answer.
