The Invisible Gorilla (book)

"The Invisible Gorilla," written by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, explores how our perception can be deceiving. Through relatable experiments, the authors demonstrate that people often overlook obvious details when focused on a task, highlighting the limits of our attention. The famous "invisible gorilla" experiment shows how viewers can miss a person in a gorilla suit while counting basketball passes. The book emphasizes the importance of recognizing these cognitive biases in everyday life, urging readers to be more aware of how perception shapes our understanding of reality and decision-making.
