THE MIND IS FLAT - NICK CHATER TASCHENBUCH

We all like to think we have a hidden inner life. Most of us assume that our beliefs and
desires arise from the murky depths of our minds  and  if only we could work out how to access
this mysterious world  we could truly understand ourselves. In The Mind Is Flat  pre-eminent
behavioural scientist Nick Chater reveals that this entire enterprise is utterly misguided.
Drawing on startling new research in neuroscience  behavioural psychology and perception  he
shows that we have no hidden depths to plumb  and unconscious thought is a myth. Instead  we
generate our ideas  motives and thoughts in the moment. As the reader discovers  through
mind-bending visual examples and counterintuitive experiments  we are all characters of our own
creation  constantly improvising our behaviour based on our past experiences. And  as Chater
shows us  recognising this can be liberating.
