In “The Intelligence Trap” David Robson embarks on a fascinating exploration of the cognitive pitfalls that even the smartest minds can fall into. As an experienced science writer with a background in psychology and neuroscience, Robson deciphers the complex dynamics between intelligence and error in the most comprehensible way, ensuring that readers without deep expertise can still grasp the concepts. The book challenges the common assumption that intelligence inherently protects people from poor decision-making by revealing how intelligent individuals—with their advanced cognitive abilities—can be particularly prone to certain types of mistakes.
