Reading this book will make you less sure of yourself—and that’s a good thing. Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, creators of a renowned psychological experiment, use compelling stories and surprising scientific findings to reveal a crucial truth: Our minds don’t function as we believe. We think we perceive ourselves and the world accurately, yet we overlook much. Time and again, we assume we experience reality as it is, but our thoughts are riddled with everyday illusions. We establish traffic laws and build criminal cases based on the belief that people will notice unusual occurrences right before them. We confidently recall our whereabouts on 9/11, mistakenly believing that vivid memories are etched in our minds with perfect clarity. Society invests billions in brain-training devices, drawn by the allure of quick fixes and effortless self-improvement. This book uncovers the many ways our intuitions mislead us, but it goes beyond merely cataloging human shortcomings. Chabris and Simons elucidate why we fall prey to these illusions and offer strategies to shield ourselves from their impact. Ultimately, it provides insight into our minds, allowing us to penetrate the veil of illusions that obscure our thoughts and enabling clearer thinking for perhaps the first time.
