The book "Your Brain Is Playing Tricks On You" vividly and accessibly explains the cognitive mechanisms of humans and how the brain interprets reality, constructing a coherent (but is it true?) vision of the world. The author encourages readers to critically reflect on their own thinking processes, using many amusing and sometimes provocative real-life examples or scientific experiments to demonstrate that we should not overly trust our beliefs, emotions, and intuitions. The book addresses questions such as: Are our memories accurate? Is intuition more effective than deliberation? Why can certainties be uncertain? Why is stress, once a friend to Neanderthals, now our enemy? What influences our views, decisions, and actions? Ultimately, we will understand what distorts our thinking and how we can protect ourselves from traps set for us, and most importantly, how we can gain perspective on ourselves and open up to others. Dr. Albert Moukheiber is a neurobiologist and clinical psychologist who teaches at the University of Paris 8 and co-founded the Chiasma association, which promotes critical thinking.
