Description
Here is an astonishing and unique book that will usurp your reality, rewrite your childhood, have you scratching your head, scrunching up your face and scouring your surroundings for the gorilla in the office, the ostrich on the desk, the criminal in the corner; in short, anything you usually don't see - because you simply aren't expecting to.
As this book demonstrates, exactly the same kind of mental illusion that causes people to miss a gorilla on a basketball pitch can also explain many other things, including why:
โข honest eyewitness testimony can convict innocent defendants
โข expert money managers suddenly lose billions
โข Homer Simpson has much to teach you about clear thinking...
Reading The Invisible Gorilla will make you realise quite how often we make snap judgements, don't know how little we know, are too confident in ourselves and others, and make a habit of confusing cause and effect. This book will make you far less sure of yourself - and that's a good thing!
