The mind is not an elegantly designed organ but a ΓÇ£klugeΓÇ¥, a clumsy, cobbled together contraption: think duct tape, not supercomputer. In a tour through some fundamental areas of human experience-memory, belief, decision making and happinessΓÇöit is revealed the many ways our minds fall short. Why is eyewitness testimony so fallible? Why do we throw good money after bad and why do we vote against our own interests? There are ways to ΓÇ£outwit our inner klugeΓÇ¥ such as: consider alternative explanations, make contingency plans, and beware the personal, vivid anecdote. While our minds are haphazard and undirected, we can make a case for the power and usefulness of imperfection.
