Description

Our understanding of the world is not as clear-cut as we think. Two leading psychologists, Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, reveal how our intuitions can lead us astray, using remarkable stories and counterintuitive scientific findings to demonstrate the importance of questioning our assumptions. In The Invisible Gorilla, Chabris and Simons explain how faulty intuitions can result in costly mistakes, from business blunders to everyday errors. They explore the ways in which our minds can deceive us, including the role of attention, perception, memory, and reasoning. By examining these everyday illusions, Chabris and Simons provide a unique insight into the workings of our minds, helping us to think more clearly and make better decisions.
