The invisible gorilla : and other ways our intuitions deceive us

by Christopher Chabris, Daniel Simons

Analysing scientific research and real-world examples, this book explores how everyday cognitive illusions deceive our perception, memory, and reasoning. It reveals why our minds do not work the way we think they do and how to guard against these mental errors.
