  1. 1. The Invisible Gorilla

    How Our Intuitions Deceive Us

    The book explores the ways in which our intuitions deceive us by detailing six everyday illusions that profoundly influence our lives. These illusions include the belief that we can pay attention to more than we actually can, that our memories are more accurate than they are, and that our confidence is a reliable indicator of our abilities. Through a mix of anecdotes, scientific studies, and engaging narratives, the authors demonstrate how these cognitive illusions lead to errors in various aspects of life, including business, education, and criminal justice, and suggest ways to become more aware of our mental limitations and make better decisions.
