A mind of its own : how your brain distorts and deceives / Cordelia Fine

by Cordelia Fine

This work examines the psychological mechanisms of self-delusion and cognitive bias. It analyses how the brain distorts perception to protect the ego through hindsight bias, unrealistic optimism, and moral excuse-making.
