Wray Herbert - On Second Thought

We had not been to Politics and Prose in what felt like forever, but it has been in the news a lot lately between it being up for sale and the passing of one of the co owners. Sam was intrigued by this book as it purported to provide insight into how we make decisions and hoped we could glean some tips to apply to our own decision making process. It turned out that it was a somewhat disjointed discussion of the roots of moral decision making, as well as several traps our brains fall into. It was more about the science of conscious and sub conscious thought than about the process. Much of this was familiar territory from seeing the talk earlier this year from the author of The Hidden Brain.
