IRB Intro Post: Marking Period 3

            

             For the duration of the third marking period, the non-fiction book that I chose to read is You Are Not So Smart written by David McRaney. David McRaney is not only a journalist/author but he has also studied psychology in order to have written this book. According to McRaney and his research, there are many lies that we have unintentionally tell ourselves.When it comes to making decisions, developing thoughts, and having emotions, our minds come up with a story or explanation to rationalize these decisions, thoughts, and emotions. I chose to read this book because I'm interested in how the brain and mind works and I plan to take a psychology class next year, diving deeper into my interests. Also this book has received great ratings and has said to change the way people think and give answers to many questions.
