They tell you how they see things.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLike someone across the world telling you the time. Maybe it's true for them, but not for you, and not for most other people.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBrains lie to their owners. Nobody knows the real reasons why they do anything.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen someone says, \"I believe...\", then whatever they say next is not a fact. No beliefs are necessarily true.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBeliefs are perspectives. Explanations are confabulated. Obligations are wishes. Rules are arbitrary. They're useful, but not necessarily true.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nKnowing this gives you empathy, as you understand people's incentives behind their beliefs.","brand":"Hit Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53735822164310,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/derek-sivers-useful-not-true-9780473453046","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
