The Art of Thinking Clearly
Summary
Have you ever... Invested time in something that, in hindsight, just wasn't worth it? Paid too much in an eBay auction? Continued to do something you knew was bad for you? Sold stocks too late, or too early? Taken credit for success, but blamed failure on external circumstances? Backed the wrong horse? These are examples of what the author calls cognitive biases, simple errors all of us make in day-to-day thinking. But by knowing what they are and how to identify them, we can avoid them and make better choices: Whether in dealing with personal problems or business negotiations, trying to save money or earn profits, or merely working out what we really want in life - and strategizing the best way to get it. Already an international bestseller, The Art of Thinking Clearly distills cutting-edge research from behavioral economics, psychology, and neuroscience into a clever, practical guide for anyone who's ever wanted to be wiser and make better decisions. A novelist, thinker, and entrepreneur, Rolf Dobelli deftly shows that in order to lead happier, more prosperous lives, we don't need extra cunning, new ideas, shiny gadgets, or more frantic hyperactivity - all we need is less irrationality. Simple, clear, and always surprising, this indispensable audiobook will change the way you think and transform your decision making - at work, at home, every day. From why you shouldn't accept a free drink to why you should walk out of a movie you don't like, from why it's so hard to predict the future to why you shouldn't watch the news, The Art of Thinking Clearly helps solve the puzzle of human reasoning.

The Art of the Good Life
Summary
Since antiquity, people have been asking themselves what it means to live a good life. How should I live? What constitutes a good life? What's the role of fate? What's the role of money? Is leading a good life a question of mind-set, or is it more about reaching your goals? Is it better to actively seek happiness or to avoid unhappiness? Each generation poses these questions anew, and somehow the answers are always fundamentally disappointing. Why? Because we're constantly searching for a single principle, a single tenet, a single rule. Yet this holy grail - a single, simple path to happiness - doesn't exist. Rolf Dobelli - successful businessman, founder of the TED-style ideas conference Zurich Minds, best-selling author, and all-around seeker of big ideas - has made finding a shortcut to happiness his life's mission. He's synthesized the leading thinkers and the latest science in happiness to find the best shortcuts to satisfaction in The Art of the Good Life, his follow-up to the international best seller The Art of Thinking Clearly (which has sold more than 2.5 million copies in 40 languages all around the globe). The Art of the Good Life is a toolkit designed for practical living. Here you'll find 52 happiness hacks - from guilt-free shunning of technology to gleefully paying your parking tickets - that are certain to optimize your happiness. These tips may not guarantee you a good life, but they'll give you a better chance (and that's all any of us can ask for).

Die Kunst des guten Lebens
Summary
Seit der Antike haben sich Menschen immer wieder die Frage nach dem guten Leben gestellt: Wie soll ich leben? Was macht ein gutes Leben aus? Welche Rolle spielt das Schicksal? Welche Rolle spielt das Geld? Ist das gute Leben eine Sache der Einstellung oder geht es vielmehr um das Erreichen von Lebenszielen? Ist es besser, nach Glück zu streben oder Unglück zu umschiffen? Jede Generation stellt sich diese Fragen neu. Die Antworten sind im Grunde stets enttäuschend. Warum? Weil man immer auf der Suche nach dem einen Prinzip ist, dem einen Grundsatz, der einen Regel. Doch diesen heiligen Gral des einfachen Weges gibt es nicht. Auf verschiedenen Gebieten fand in den letzten Jahrzehnten eine stille Revolution des Denkens statt. In den Wissenschaften, in der Politik, in der Medizin und in vielen anderen Bereichen hat man erkannt: Die Welt ist viel zu kompliziert, als dass wir sie mit einer großen Idee oder einer Handvoll Prinzipien erfassen könnten. Wir brauchen einen Werkzeugkasten von mentalen Modellen, um die Welt zu verstehen. Es ist an der Zeit, einen solchen Werkzeugkasten auch für das praktische Leben zusammenzustellen. Voilà. Hier finden Sie 52 gedankliche Werkzeuge, die Ihnen ein gutes Leben zwar nicht garantieren, es aber wahrscheinlicher machen.

El arte de la buena vida
Summary
Desde la Antigüedad, la gente se ha preguntado qué significa vivir una buena vida. ¿Cómo debo vivir? ¿Qué rol juega el destino? ¿O el dinero? ¿Es la felicidad un estado mental, o se trata más bien de alcanzar ciertas metas? ¿Es mejor buscar la felicidad o solo evitar la infelicidad? Las respuestas son siempre decepcionantes. ¿Por qué? Porque el camino único hacia la felicidad no existe. El mundo es demasiado complicado; necesitamos modelos mentales para entenderlo. En El arte de la buena vida encontrarás 52 atajos intelectuales para pensar sabiamente y tomar mejores decisiones en tu vida personal y laboral. Tal vez no te garanticen una buena vida, pero sí te darán una mejor oportunidad de alcanzarla. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
