Description
xWhy do we make mistakes?
Author's name: Joseph T. Hallinan
Did you know that your brain is designed to deceive you?
Every time you forget your key, confuse two faces, or trust your memory too much… you are a victim of the “design mechanism” inherent in each of us.
This book is not just an explanation of our everyday mistakes, but an amazing investigative journey that reveals how our minds are programmed to fail in ways we could never imagine.
Through perplexing true stories — such as a meteorologist whose predictions are miraculously accurate, and a witness who sent an innocent man to prison — journalist Joseph T. Hallinan takes you between psychology, neuroscience, and economics, revealing that it is our very strengths that make us go wrong.
Did you know that multitasking is a disastrous idea?
And that men make mistakes that women do not?
And that reading summaries sometimes benefits you more than reading long texts?
In this book you will discover why we seek to immerse ourselves in information despite its futility, why we forget our phone numbers while remembering the faces of those we have met only once, and how a simple illusion of vision or memory can change the fate of a case… or bring down a plane.
If you want to understand your mind like never before, and see your mistakes in a way that reveals what lies behind them… then this book is not just for reading, but for reprogramming your view of life.
