We think we see ourselves and the world as they really are, but we’re actually missing a whole lot.Ĭhabris and Simons combine the work of other researchers with their own findings on attention, perception, memory, and reasoning to reveal how faulty intuitions often get us into trouble. In The Invisible Gorilla, Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, creators of one of psychology’s most famous experiments, use remarkable stories and counterintuitive scientific findings to demonstrate an important truth: Our minds don’t work the way we think they do.
Reading this book will make you less sure of yourself-and that’s a good thing.
