About the Book: How does the brain construct our reality? In A Trick of the Mind, Daniel Yon explores cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology to reveal how the brain acts like a scientist—using past experiences to form theories, predict events and interpret the world around us. This thought-provoking book examines how perception shapes what we see, how we judge others and how we develop beliefs about ourselves. Drawing on fascinating research into the brain, cognition, perception and human behaviour, Yon offers a transformative perspective on how we think and interact with others, with important implications for understanding communities, beliefs and mental health.
