Title: Reason to Be Happy: Why logical thinking is the key to a better life Author: Kaushik Basu Narrator: Esh Alladi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 42 minutes Release date: January 18, 2024 Genres: Economics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Why do our friends have more friends than we do? Can simple maths help us with our self-esteem? And how can game theory offer solutions to the climate emergency? When we reason well, it is easier to be happy (and good and also, you know, right). But when dealing with others, it's not enough to be clever - you must be able to put yourself in the shoes of the clever person opposite you and think of what they might do. It's this insight that lies at the heart of Reason to Be Happy, whether you are dealing with the Cuban Missile Crisis or letting go of anger. Full of fascinating thought experiments and revealing stories, Reason to Be Happy is a paean to the power of rationality. If you want to have a good life and even make the world a better place, you need to start by thinking clearly. ©2024 Kaushik Basu (P)2024 Penguin Audio
