Konečne niekto vysvetlil stupiditu! A boli to jedni z najmúdrejších ľudí sveta, medzi ktorých patria Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, Alison Gopniková, Howard Gardner, Antonio Damasio, Aaron James či Ryan Holiday. Preto vyhlasujem, idioti všetkých zemí a hlupáci všetkých druhov, toto je vaša chvíľka slávy: táto kniha hovorí len a len o vás. No vy sa v jej riadkoch nespoznáte... Stupidita je všade naokolo: vidíme ju u kolegu, ktorý v e-mailoch vždy zvolí možnosť „odpovedať všetkým“, aj na facebookovom profile bývalého spolužiaka zo strednej, ktorý neustále zdieľa konšpiračné teórie. No ak nad ňou chceme zvíťaziť, musíme jej najprv porozumieť. V Psychológii stupidity vám svetovo najuznávanejší psychológovia a myslitelia – vrátane laureáta Nobelovej ceny a niekoľkých autorov bestsellerov – objasnia: prečo inteligentní ľudia občas uveria úplným nezmyslom, ako nás naše lenivé mozgy podnecujú robiť nesprávne rozhodnutia, prečo je diskusia s hlupákom pasca, ako nás mediálna manipulácia a nadmerná internetová stimulácia robia hlúpejšími, prečo si tí najhlúpejší ľudia neuvedomujú svoju stupiditu. Múdrosť a dôvtip týchto expertov sú balzamom na naše ubolené duše a majákom nádeje vo svete hlupákov.
