2. The Art of Thinking Clearly
Translated from German by Nicky Griffin, Rolf Dobelli’s The Art of Thinking Clearly catalogues the cognitive biases that human beings are prone to, and which shape our everyday decision making: confirmation bias, authority bias, availability bias, liking bias, hindsight bias, gambler’s fallacy, false-consensus effect, and so on. By identifying these common cognitive biases, this compendium of ninety-nine essays helps the reader to recognise potential errors of judgement and, hopefully, make better choices. It is crucial to note, however, that Dobelli is an entrepreneur and philosopher – not a psychologist – so do not expect in-depth analysis of every bias mentioned in his book.

4. Man’s Search for Meaning
Translated from German by Ilse Lasch, Man’s Search for Meaning chronicles Viennese psychiatrist Viktor Frankl’s experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during the Second World War. In Auschwitz he observed that everything could be taken away from prisoners except their ability to determine their own attitude, and this led Frankl to contend that humans are unable to avoid suffering but we can find meaning in it and move forward with renewed purpose. He developed the psychotherapeutic approach known as logotherapy, which suggests that human beings are most motivated by a search for meaning, rather than pleasure, in life. If meaning is what you are searching for in this trying season, why not pick up this book today?

5. The Courage to Be Disliked
Translated from Japanese, The Courage to Be Disliked: How to Free Yourself, Change Your Life and Achieve Real Happiness by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga uses Adlerian psychology to show us how we can free ourselves from the shackles of our past, our doubts and the expectations that others have of us, and be happy. Written as a dialogue between a philosopher and a youth, The Courage to Be Disliked contends that all problems are interpersonal relationship problems, that feelings of inferiority are subjective assumptions, that life is a series of moments, and that you can be happy now.
