From the books preface:"This book is about being rational when it comes to finances, health, and safety. It is about managing anger, love, frustrations, decisions and non-conscious motivations, including prejudices. It is about resisting social pressures that can cause people to obey an immoral order and fail to help someone in the throes of a catastrophe. You will learn about growing wiser as you grow older, how to share your passionate interests with your children and grandchildren, and how to leave a lasting legacy. You will learn to cope with the memory and cognitive deficits that accompany aging. You will learn that family is not everything, and that IQ is not all there is to intelligence...." These are some of the beginning words in the preface to this penetrating essay dealing with the more common defects in our modes of thought and rationalization.
