One book a week, more or less.

Maltz was a plastic surgeon who noticed new faces didn’t fix old self-images. His 1960 case: the mind is a goal-seeking servo-mechanism steered by the self-image, so change the image and behavior follows. Willpower was never the lever.

Robson’s case for why smart people do stupid things: intelligence doesn’t protect against bias, it often arms it, sharp minds just build better defenses for wrong beliefs. The way out is evidence-based wisdom: intellectual humility, actively reasoning against yourself.

This was a hard read. It was intense, but it speaks to those who are deeply interested in growing their faith. The biggest lesson in this book is that you have to think critically because even very intelligent people can misguide and misinform. Well worth the read if you love reading. Shalom
