The Art of Thinking Clearly By Rolf Dobelli

In The Art of Thinking Clearly, Swiss author and entrepreneur Rolf Dobelli offers a highly readable guide to the most common thinking errors that distort our judgment. Based on psychology, behavioral economics, and real-life examples, the book introduces 99 cognitive biases—from confirmation bias to the sunk cost fallacy.

Rather than heavy theory, Dobelli delivers short, sharp chapters that explain how each bias works, why it misleads us, and how to avoid it. Whether you’re making financial choices, managing people, or simply trying to avoid everyday mistakes, this book will help you think more logically, objectively, and effectively.

Key Lessons You’ll Learn:

• How cognitive biases affect your decisions without you realizing

• Why we fall for “groupthink,” “loss aversion,” or “survivorship bias”

• How to question assumptions and avoid false logic

• Simple mental habits to improve critical thinking

• Why understanding your brain helps you avoid manipulation

Each chapter is just 2–3 pages long, making this a perfect book for daily reading or reference.
