For decades, scientists have tried to understand how our brains work, not realizing that the answer lies much closer to home. New research in neuroscience and psychology suggests that the brain is doing the same thing that the scientists are: using past experiences to build theories of how the world works, and using these models to predict and make sense of it. Through this process, your brain constructs the reality that you live in. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Daniel Yon takes the research one step further, uncovering how your brain colors your perception of the world, the judgements you make about other people, and the beliefs you form about yourself. These mental processes help us navigate the world--but can also lead us astray, causing us to believe outlandish conspiracy theories or to see things that aren't really there. By understanding the ways each of our brains construct our realities, we can better engage with other communities and make more informed approaches about mental illness. With cutting-edge research and transformative practical applications, \u003ci\u003eA Trick of the Mind\u003c\/i\u003e will revolutionize the way you think.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Yon\u003c\/b\u003e is an experimental psychologist and neuroscientist at the University of Birkbeck, London, where he studies how our brains build models of ourselves and the world around us, and how those models shape our perceptions, actions and decisions.
