About this listen

2021 Audio Book of the Year—Australian Business Book Awards.

This is a laugh-out-loud, narrative-driven self-help audiobook; think Bridget Jones getting a critical-thinking makeover.

In Why Smart Women Make Bad Decisions, protagonist Kat learns that the philosophies of "believe in yourself" and "magic will happen" will not deliver her a better life. Her story, which recounts her hapless attempts to navigate scenarios that will be disturbingly familiar to many listeners, is presented with a companion account of the cognitive quirks that drive her faulty thinking and behavior.

This is everyday brain function explained through the lens of a modern comedy—the buggy brain stripped bare in a takedown of magical thinking and the questionable promises of self-help gurus.

Annie McCubbin is an actor, writer, director, corporate communication consultant, and coach. As the director of COUP—the consultancy she founded with husband, David McCubbin—her corporate work is highly regarded as an outstanding synthesis of dramatic art, management consulting and critical thinking.
