6 hours of whining about how being white and rich is so hard and attempting and failing to be aware of how ridiculous this is. And the ending was very disappointing.

The Art of Thinking Clearly

By

Rolf Dobelli,

อรพิน ผลพนิชรัศมี(Translator)

It's like Dobelli truly (consciously or unconsciously- it's not entirely clear) did not consider their audience to extend beyond cishet, college-educated men. While I found several of the initial theories presented interesting, Dobelli's snide side remarks grounded in 1960s western gender values + examples usually made around the stock market and business investment + his massive fan girling of Taleb all point to an inability to communicate one's ideas to those outside of one's own discourse community.

2. Several of the theories Dobelli presents, including the marshmallow experiment and the decision fatigue theory have been disproven, casting a shadow on all the other theories presented.

3. This guy just really loves stocks. Sir, these ideas seem to apply to contexts more interesting and perhaps much more important than stocks.
