The Invisible Gorilla (Christopher Chabris & Daniel Simons)

An accessible, scientifically supported, and fascinating look at the many ways in which our intuitions mislead us. The authors explore the illusions of attention, memory, confidence, knowledge, causation, and potential to show how the cognitive processes that normally serve us so well can, under the right circumstances, lead us dangerously awry. This book is a wonderful exploration of how our minds work, and how they don't, that gives us a glimpse behind the curtain of the mind. Highly recommended for anyone interested in cognitive psychology, or anyone who thinks (or thinks they think).
