Imagine that you are walking down the street and a man stops you. He looks lost, shows the map and asks to explain the way. You want to help and start to lay the route, when you suddenly hear from the back of the workers who are asking to step aside. Between you and the stranger, they carry a large door. Can you notice the substitution of a passerby in this situation? Sure? And if we say that half of the people participating in this experiment did not see anything and calmly continued to talk with another person?
After reading this book, you can never trust your brain 100% One of the most famous experiments in the world showed that we do not notice the whole world around and overestimate our observation. Each of us is convinced: it is impossible to lose what lies right in front of the nose, everything happened exactly as we remembered, and there is nothing easier than to deal with scratch in a new question. But in fact, we rely much more often on intuition than common sense.
"Invisible gorilla" is the most famous psychological experiment in the world. Psychologists from Harvard discovered six everyday illusions that lead to mistakes in life and even dangerous.
You will learn many interesting stories that will clearly show when illusions arise in our lives and how to resist them. You will understand yourself and the secrets of our brain and, finally, will see the world as it is.
From this book you will also learn:
- What is common between driving drunken form and conversation by phone while driving,
- Why are there so many blunders in Oscar-winning films, but we rarely notice them,
- Why do companies spend billions on the launch of a product, which, in their own opinion, will fail,
- What is common between chess players and criminals,
- Why do the participants remember the same event in different ways
