by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons
Chabris and Simons, creators of the famous selective-attention experiment, unpack six everyday illusions (attention, memory, confidence, knowledge, cause, and potential) that routinely mislead smart people. They weave counterintuitive laboratory findings and real-world disasters to show that intuition is a much worse guide than we believe.
