Useful Not True

Useful Not True by Derek Sivers challenges conventional thinking by exploring a radical idea: beliefs do not have to be objectively true to be valuable. Instead, the book advocates adopting perspectives based on their usefulness in achieving personal goals and enhancing well-being. Drawing from philosophy, psychology, and his own unconventional experiences, Sivers presents an array of thought-provoking examples to illustrate how reframing beliefs can lead to greater clarity and purpose. The book encourages readers to question their assumptions, embrace flexibility, and see beliefs as tools rather than rigid truths.
