"David explains cognitive bias with extraordinary clarity and compassion. He has made an intimidating topic supremely accessible for design and content professionals in every field. His work truly inspires and empowers us to build better products for a better world. -KRISTINA HALVORSON Author of Content Strategy for the Web The most insidious mistakes we make are the ones we don't even realize we are making. This book brilliantly shines a light on the thousands of ""invisible"" choices we make in our work and our lives-and guides us on how to begin making better ones. -ALEX HILLMAN Cofounder of Indy Hall This essential book will fundamentally change the way you think not only about design, but also about your own mind. You'll stay entertained, even while being utterly humbled in your estimation of human rationality-and then be empowered to be more effective. -ERIKA HALL Author of Just Enough Research and Conversational Design David shows us how dangerous our biases can be and gives us tools to embrace what we don't know we don't know. -MIKE MONTEIRO Author of Design Is a Job and Ruined by Design"
