Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work--in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?"

What lies behind our moral behavior if not reflection and reasoning? How can simple 'rules of thumb' help amateurs beat the stock market, outfielders catch a fly ball, parents choose a school or lovers choose a mate?Gerd Gigerenzer whose breakthrough research was a amor source for Malcolm Gladwell's Blink takes us step-by-step through the science of good decision making. The trick is not to amass information, but to discard it; to know intuitively what one does not need to know. Gigerenzer frees fun from the jargon of experts and the drudgery of pros-and-cons lists. Instead, he suggests that we hone the cognitive, emotional, and social repertoire we've evolved over the millennia.This repertoire consists of rules of thumb that, unlike the rules of theoretical logic, have evolved expressly to cope with the human experience. Social intelligence, for example, relies on powerful intuitive tools including trust, deception, identification, rumor, wishful thinking, and cooperation. Social and political change, good or bad, often originates form these factors rather than from lucid reasoning. In fact, what looks like a reasoning error from a purely logical perspective can be a highly intelligent social judgment, in our fiendishly complex lives."
