The Intelligence Trap

The Intelligence Trap: Revolutionise your Thinking and Make Wiser Decisions by David Robson is an English psychology and decision-making book about intelligence, bias, rationality, expertise, emotion, intuition and better thinking.

About the book

The Intelligence Trap explains why intelligent people can make surprisingly poor decisions. David Robson explores how cognitive bias, overconfidence, motivated reasoning, emotional blind spots and rigid thinking can affect even highly educated people, experts and successful professionals.

Drawing on behavioural science and historical examples, the book presents a practical toolkit for thinking more wisely. It helps readers understand how to identify bias, regulate emotions, improve intuition, navigate uncertainty and make better decisions in complex situations.

Why read The Intelligence Trap?

This book is useful because modern life requires more than raw intelligence. Students, professionals, entrepreneurs, managers and curious readers need flexible thinking, humility, emotional awareness and the ability to question their own assumptions. The Intelligence Trap helps readers understand why smart thinking can fail and how to build wiser habits of judgment.
