Sleight Of Mind by Matt Cook
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.
