Metacognition (thinking about thinking) has never seemed more useful than in You Are Not So Smart: Why You Have Too Many Friends on Facebook, Why Your Memory Is Mostly Fiction, and 46 Other Ways You’re Deluding Yourself.

Find out 46 of the lies you tell yourself and see if you don’t think more about your thinking.
