This book is a short look at how your brain affects your perception. The author outlines the many instances where what you perceive is not really reality. Understanding how this works, allows you to re-examine your own logic and conclusions. I think the author could have provided more examples of how to control these perceptions, many of them were presented as "this is what it is" with little "here's how to change it." Overall it was a quick read with a refresher on how your brain perceives the w This book is a short look at how your brain affects your perception.

I always try to keep a book or two in rotation that reminds me of all of the ways we experience flawed thinking. This was a short book and covered about five or six main topics. It covered a few studies I haven't read about from other books, so that's definitely a plus since I've read so many of these.

Self understanding Interesting summary book of thinking and memory. This is written to provide understanding by simplifying complex entities. It would be a good book for young moderately autistic people as well as general population education.

Nice connection Appreciated the readability and connection between neuroscience and action or inaction. Helps one to stop and think, why am I reacting this way.

Nice introduction to perceptions vs. reality. Well documented but remains on the surface of the subject, was hoping for ways to avoid being tricked.

Entertaining at best, but no scientific breakthroughs, I regret the purchase. I really didn't get the point of the author. Possibly because I fall into the stupid people category.
