It is a truly fascinating book, that governs you through the peculiarities of how your mind really works.
One great thing about this book is an approach that author is using. He gives readers not only interesting new information based on cognitive science research but a new view of themselves. He is asking readers a question. And answers when the reader gives an answer - it demonstrates the particular point author is making at the moment. And it changes the way readers view themselves.
