Inevitable Illusions
How Mistakes of Reason Rule Our Minds
A tour of the mental traps and cognitive illusions that reliably fool even careful thinkers.
Cognitive scientist Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini gives a guided tour of the mental tunnels our minds fall into, the reasoning errors and probability blunders that trip up even experts, and that we make again and again no matter how smart we are. Clear and often startling, it shows how predictable our irrationality is and how to guard against it. Guy Kawasaki lists it among his ten favorite books for its lessons on how thinking goes wrong.
