Prac­ti­cal posts give di­rect, ac­tion­able ad­vice on how to achieve goals and gen­er­ally suc­ceed. The art of ra­tio­nal­ity would be use­less if it did not con­nect to the real world; we must take our ideas and ab­strac­tions and col­lide them with re­al­ity. Many places on the in­ter­net will give you ad­vice; here, we value sur­vey data, liter­a­ture re­views, self-blinded tri­als, quan­ti­ta­tive es­ti­mates, and the­o­ret­i­cal mod­els that aim to ex­plain the phe­nom­ena.

Ma­te­rial that is di­rectly about how to think bet­ter can be found at Ra­tion­al­ity.
