An eye-opener!

I pretty much read this in one sitting while at the Atlanta airport awaiting my very late flight. Its enthralling. Using Chris's original experiment, the invisible gorilla, he leaps into discussions on how our memory is highly fallible, how we tend to put too much faith in confidence, how we think we know more than we really do, how we make assumptions and jump to conclusions that aren't there, and how we have this false belief that its possible to get smart quickly (ie: the Mozart craze).
Highly recommended.… (altro)

Embrace doubt! Doubt is good!
It's a theme in my life lately .. and an unspoken theme underlying the book.
What do we really know? It's a book that will give you doubt to what you really know. Could it be that when we're most confident, that we are most wrong?
The book began with a bang and puttered to the end. The book felt exhausting and perhaps unsettling. It's not that the material was dense, but it's scary to see our shortcomings.
