Synopsis
Scientific and philosophical concepts can change the way we solve problems by helping us to think more effectively about our behavior and our world. Surprisingly, despite their utility, many of these tools remain unknown to most of us. In Mindware , the world-renowned psychologist Richard E. Nisbett presents these ideas in clear and accessible detail, offering a tool kit for better thinking and wiser decisions. He has made a distinguished career of studying and teaching such powerful problem-solving concepts as the law of large numbers, statistical regression, cost-benefit analysis, sunk costs and opportunity costs, and causation and correlation, probing how best to teach others to use them effectively in their daily lives. In this groundbreaking book, he shows that a course in a given field--statistics or economics, for example--often doesn't work as well as a few minutes of more practical instruction in analyzing everyday situations. Mindware shows how to reframe common problems in such a way that these powerful scientific and statistical concepts can be applied to them. The result is an enlightening and practical guide to the most powerful tools of reasoning ever developed--tools that can easily be used to make better professional, business, and personal decisions.
Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (174,378)
- o***h (25)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem arrived in good condition, as described. I was a bit concerned when the item wouldn’t track after a label had been created for shipping (according to shipping updates provided). Upon contacting the seller I received assurance that the the item had just shipped. Then the item started tracking within a day and made its way to me. No complaints on my end, but initially I was worried something had gone wrong. Once it had shipped I received an updated delivery date and then it arrived promptly.A Certain Scientific Accelerator Vol. 3 (#405411853463)
- a***v (277)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBeautiful book, in condition described. This seller is operating in a strange way. You order the book, the shipping label is created (and ebay considers it "shipped" , and the shipment status never changes, until you, the customer, asks 2 weeks later where the book it. After the ultimatum of please credit or ship in 48 hr, the book ships and arrives no problem.Printmaking Revolution: New Advancements in Technology, Safety, and Sustainabili (#405411314100)
- e***9 (697)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI had ordered this book to give as a gift. I contacted the seller when the item did not arrive on time and they immediately refunded the entire amount (inc s/h) and asked me to let them know if/when it does arrive. It finally did arrive (16 days after shipping!), and when I contacted them the seller wrote back a lovely note and said to keep the item as a gift. I highly recommend this seller!The Little Book of Jewish Celebrations (#296871466599)
