For someone who hates self-help books I sure do read a lot that are adjacent.
Anyway. At first I found this book annoying because it just repeated all the concepts you learn in conducting research and doing public health communications. However, the examples and digestion of the many biases we face and how we can overcome them in life, not just academically or work, was surprisingly insightful and helpful. I think this might be a re-read for me since it's nice to remind yourself sometimes, that maybe it's NOT what you think.
The best anecdote by far mentioned is that, our stoplights in the US, are not actually red, yellow, and green. They are red, ORANGE, and green. Courtesy of a sweet 4 year old who challenged their mom to actually look.
