How much of what we see and experience is real, and how much is created by our own brains?

In A Trick of the Mind, psychologist and neuroscientist Daniel Yon explores the fascinating science behind how our brains interpret the world, revealing that our perception of reality may not be quite as straightforward as we think.

Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, Yon explains how the brain uses past experiences to make predictions about the world around us, shaping everything from what we see and hear to the judgements we make about other people.

He also examines how these mental processes influence our beliefs, relationships, and understanding of ourselves, offering surprising insights into why different people can experience the same world in very different ways.

Combining cutting-edge science with engaging storytelling, A Trick of the Mind challenges readers to rethink how their minds work and what it really means to perceive reality.

An accessible and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in neuroscience, psychology, human behaviour, and the mysteries of the mind.
