Hard to Be Human: Overcoming Our Five Cognitive Design Flaws

Written by Ted Cadsby

Narrated by Mike Chamberlain

We are oddly paradoxical creatures who long to be happy while creating our own suffering. We replay past anguish, anticipate future distress, and stew in self-righteous anger. In Hard to Be Human, Ted Cadsby focuses on five cognitive design flaws that foster underthinking and overreacting, and reveals powerful strategies to overcome them.
