A book about why humans think irrationally — and why logic fails in the real world.
We live in an age of information and still make emotional, biased, and mathematically insane decisions. Why? Because the human brain is wired for story over statistics, tribe over truth, and certainty over reality. In When Logic Betrays You, Kevin L. Whitworth blends cognitive psychology, behavioral science, and dark humor to expose how cognitive biases sabotage critical thinking.
This book dives into confirmation bias, motivated reasoning, tribal logic, outrage culture, and the algorithmic feedback loops that shape what we believe. You’ll learn why facts don’t change minds, why smart people fall for bad logic, and how to build better thinking habits without becoming a robot.
You’ll learn:
- How bias and emotion overrule logic in everyday decisions
- Why we defend beliefs even when proven wrong
- How algorithms amplify irrational thinking
- Why arguments never work (and what does)
- Practical ways to think more clearly in a post-truth world
If you like Thinking, Fast and Slow, Predictably Irrational, or The Righteous Mind, you will love this sharp and satirical guide to human irrationality, decision-making failures, and the comedy of the thinking brain.
