Cognitive distortions are certain patterns of thinking that alter how we perceive reality—most often in a negative direction. Have you ever wondered how often your brain misleads you? Why is patterned thinking so characteristic of us in the first place? Why do so many become victims of scammers or fall for marketing manipulations like: "Only this week! Don’t miss the price collapse!" The audiobook "Traps and Illusions of the Brain" will help you detect and overcome systematic thinking errors. You’ll learn not only to identify mistakes by their "symptoms," but also to get to know yourself and the people around you better. Once you understand how our brain works, you’ll know what to pay attention to when dealing with people, and you’ll learn to assess and analyze situations objectively.
