Useful Delusions: The Power and Paradox of the Self-Deceiving Brain Hardcover -
by Shankar Vedantam; Bill Mesler
From the rear cover
Praise for Shankar Vedantam:
"Delivered with wit and lightness by Vedantam, The Hidden Brain is digestible without ever being dumbed down, and embodies an open-mindedness that becomes infectious."
-Emma Dibdin, New York Times
"The Hidden Brain [is] compulsively readable. Vedantam is a gifted storyteller."
-Anthony Doerr, Boston Globe
"The Hidden Brain is an altogether spectacular read, the kind that gives the best possible hope for changing our minds...toward more fairness, greater self-awareness, and a vital integration of our intentions and our actions."
-Maria Popova, Brainpickings
