Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Don Hagen's narration in You Are Not So Smart is both smooth and engaging, making the dense content feel approachable. His performance adds an element of playfulness that keeps listeners hooked through McRaney’s often complex theories. The pacing is just right—fast enough to keep up with the rapid-fire revelations but slow enough for listeners to absorb each new insight. However, there's a slight unevenness in Hagen’s tone at times; he can sound overly enthusiastic about certain topics, which might detract from the serious nature of some discussions. Despite this minor flaw, You Are Not So Smart stands out as an audiobook that is both enlightening and delightful, offering a unique blend of psychology and humor.
