Ugly Mind uncovers over 100 mental traps that trick you into believing your version of reality is the only truth. From hidden cognitive biases to emotional distortions, this book reveals how your mind reshapes the world around you, while convincing you it hasn't touched a thing.
Inside, you'll explore:
Neurological Betrayals: How your brain chemistry works against you.
Psychological Defenses: The stories you invent to protect yourself from uncomfortable truths.
Social Deceptions: Why groups often amplify delusions rather than correct them.
Existential Errors: The lies we all agree to live by because the truth is too heavy.
This isn't just a guide to spotting mental distortions; it's an unflinching map of the entire ecosystem of self-deception. The deeper you go, the more you'll realize: your "reality" is often more like a conspiracy theory your mind has been pitching to itself for years.
Through vivid stories, psychological insights, and practical tools, Ugly Mind helps you uncover how your mind distorts your thinking, leading you to fear, false certainty, and self-deception. But it's not about fixing your mind, it's about understanding it.
Ugly Mind helps you identify these mental traps and it gives you the tools to break free from them. It's not about erasing your mind's "flaws," but understanding how they shape your thinking, emotions, and decisions. You will become more aware of these hidden biases, you'll see the world more clearly and make choices rooted in reality, not self-deception.
