Each of us, deep down, considers himself an expert in many fields, especially in matters of human relationships. Common sense and experience dictate to us judgments that seem irrefutably true. Are our ideas about the world and ourselves so infallible? Maybe it makes sense to abandon them? Duncan Watts, a former professor of sociology, debunks the myth of the unshakability of common sense. After all, sometimes our deepest beliefs, rooted in education and reinforced by life experience, prevent us from making rational and informed decisions, building the right strategies and being aware of our choices. The book is intended for a wide range of readers.
