He provides concepts in an engaging but also thought-provoking manner to illustrate various effects.  While the book might not be for all, as at times it can be repetitive, Dobelli covers a wide range of biases from the most common being confirmation bias, hindsight bias to anchoring and selection bias to less known including social comparison bias and false consensus effect. For anyone looking to sharpen their thinking skills and avoid a few common pitfalls, this is worth the investment.  [Link to Book](https://www.amazon.com.au/Art-Thinking-Clearly-Rolf-Dobelli/dp/0062219693) [View more NAOS podcasts and Book reviews](https://blog.naos.com.au/podcast-reviews)   ###### [Podcast & Book Reviews](https://blog.naos.com.au/podcast-reviews/topic/podcast-book-reviews) ###### Share this post ### Comments ##### NAOS Asset Management ![](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5b09df434e359cb73f2f80b5/5b09df434e359c362d2f81c4_location-icon-white.svg) Level 34, 25 Martin Place Sydney NSW 2000 ![](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5b09df434e359cb73f2f80b5/5b09df434e359c121c2f81c8_mail-icon-white.svg) [enquiries@naos.com.au](mailto:enquiries@naos.com.au?subject=NAOS%20Website%20Contact) ![](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5b09df434e359cb73f2f80b5/5b09df434e359ce0f62f81c9_phone-icon-white.svg) +61 2 9002 1576 ##### Our Listed Investment Companies [ASX: NCC - NAOS Emerging Oportunities Company Limited](http://www.naos.com.au/ncc-naos-emerging-opportunities-company-limited) [ASX: NSC - NAOS Small Cap Opportunities Company Limited](http://www.naos.com.au/nsc-naos-small-cap-opportunities-company-limited) [ASX: NAC - NAOS Ex-50 Opportunities Company Limited](http://www.naos.com.au/nac-naos-ex50-opportunities-company-limited) [NAOS Private Opportunities Fund](https://www.naos.com.au/npof-naos-private-opportunities-fund) [Listed Investment Companies](http://www.naos.com.au/our-lics-compare-our-lics) [Share Registry](https://boardroomlimited.com.au/) [Corporate Governance](http://www.naos.com.au/corporate-governance) ##### More Links [Privacy Policy](http://www.naos.com.au/privacy-policy) [Terms & Conditions](http://www.naos.com.au/terms-conditions) ##### Follow NAOS [![](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5b3d7f5582ecae7f1e026ce2/5b3d7f5582ecae7e51026d27_twitter-icon-white.svg)](https://twitter.com/naosassetmgmt) [![](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5b09df434e359cb73f2f80b5/5b09df434e359c11092f818c_facebook-icon-white.svg)](https://www.facebook.com/NAOSAssetManagement) [![](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5b3d7f5582ecae7f1e026ce2/5b3d7f5582ecae133c026dca_Group%20261.svg)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/naos-asset-management) [![](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5b3d7f5582ecae7f1e026ce2/5bf6115a4ae34255e68089e1_Asset%201Chart4.svg)](https://www.instagram.com/naos_asset_management/) Join our investment community.
