Thomas Gilovich offers a wise and readable guide to the fallacy of the obvious in everyday life.

The Face in the Mirror: How We Know Who We Are
ISBN: 9780060012809 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. We've all witnessed this moment: a dog, a cat, or another animal reacting to its own reflection in the mirror, treating it as another animal to be played with or confronted. As human beings, we take self-recognition for granted, but this seemingly simple ability represents one of the most complex mysteries of neuroscience. The Face in the Mirror takes readers on a lively tour of the neurological, anthropological, and psychological roots of self-recognition -- from the intricate network in the brain that enables higher primates to recognize their image to complex, self-related...

Hare Brain, Tortoise Mind : How Intelligence Increases When You Think Less
ISBN: 9780060955410 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In these accelerated times, our decisive and businesslike ways of thinking are unprepared for ambiguity, paradox, and sleeping on it." We assume that the quick-thinking "hare brain" will beat out the slower Intuition of the "tortoise mind." However, now research in cognitive science is changing this understanding of the human mind. It suggests that patience and confusion--rather than rigor and certainty--are the essential precursors of wisdom. With a compelling argument that the mind works best when we trust our unconscious, or "undermind," psychologist Guy Claxton makes an appeal...

ISBN: 9780080447148 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Is it possible to ban unwanted thoughts from consciousness? According to the literature on thought suppression, the answer is no.

This experimental finding was followed by a substantial number of replications. This book provides an up-to-date overview of the thought suppression literature. First, similarities and differences between suppression, repression, and dissociation are...
