Are You Thinking Clearly (UK)

Are you in love?

Do you trust your instincts?

Are you thinking clearly?

Every one of our thoughts, actions, moods and

decisions is shaped by a vast and mindboggling

array of factors, most of which we don't pay any

attention to. From culture, time and language to

genetics, advertising, technology and our daily

routines and habits even the microorganisms

living inside us - it's clear that we aren't always in

the driving seat.

So how is it possible to think clearly when the

human brain is so biased and easily swayed?

And when should you listen to others rather than

'think for yourself', take a step back and admit

you're wrong? The good news is that by better

understanding the external and internal forces at

work, we can minimise their impact on our lives.

Drawing on rigorous interdisciplinary research,

leading science journalists Miriam Frankel and

Matt Warren bring us the extraordinary stories and

studies that open our eyes to the inner workings

of the mind, challenge our thought processes and

improve our decision-making. Most of all, Are You

Thinking Clearly? is a rallying cry to think broadly,

think boldly - and to listen.
