Description
Feeling certain about something - knowing it's true without question - is a common experience. Neurologist Robert Burton explores this phenomenon in On Being Certain, revealing that our sense of certainty is rooted in the brain rather than evidence of fact.
The book delves into the relationship between our thoughts and what we actually know, bringing together cutting-edge neuroscience, experimental data, and personal anecdotes to challenge conventional views on the mind, knowledge, and reason.
