"The Wisest One in the Room combines rich science, compelling
stories, and graceful prose to teach you more about other people
and yourself than you ever thought you knew. Two of the world's
greatest social psychologists will help you understand the sources
of many of the world's greatest triumphs and most pressing
problems--from racism to partisanship, from happiness to consumer
behavior, from media biases to international conflicts, from
persuasion to healthy eating, from knocking out educational
disparities to mitigating climate change. Every person who wants to
be wiser, happier, and more successful--and that includes most of
us--should read this book."-- "Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., professor
of psychology at the University of California, Riverside and

"In The Wisest One in the Room, Gilovich and Ross weave social
science, history and anecdotes in a compelling way to help us
understand human nature, where we make mistakes and how we might be
able to live to our full potential."--Dan Ariely, professor of
psychology and behavioral economics, and most recently bestselling
author of Irrationally Yours
