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 / David McRaney / 302 p.

The title gives a good idea of what is in this book. I found it to actually be a bit depressing.  I guess I want to keep deluding myself about how smart I am. Actually, some of the information about studies done about behavior are interesting. It is probably good to be aware of ways in which we fool ourselves. But it is a book of many very, very short chapters--just snippets really--so I don't know how truly meaningful any of them are.
