  1. 1. Sleight Of Mind

    75 Ingenious Paradoxes in Mathematics, Physics, and Philosophy

    An engaging tour of paradoxes and mental misdirections that shows how subtle assumptions can derail reasoning. Through short, lively chapters, it explores classic puzzles from logic, probability, mathematics, and physics—such as Monty Hall, the Liar, Newcomb’s problem, and quantum oddities—explaining why they confound us and what they reveal about language, inference, and reality. The result is an accessible, entertaining primer on critical thinking that sharpens intuition while exposing the ways our minds can be deceived.
