Why do intelligent people misjudge, overthink, misremember, cling to false beliefs, or delay what matters most?
The Anatomy of Bias and Illusion, Volume 1 is a comprehensive map of the hidden distortions that shape human thought. Across fourteen chapters, it examines cognitive biases, metacognitive blind spots, learning illusions, decision-making errors, moral narratives, emotional misattributions, superstition, scientific overreach, and the psychology of procrastination.
Rather than treating bias as isolated mistakes, this volume reveals interconnected systems: self-reinforcing loops of perception, emotion, and narrative that feel coherent while quietly drifting from reality, exploring them through first person, cognitive order, bias or illusion forming phenomenological stanzas.
Clear, systematic, and wide-ranging, this foundational volume begins a larger project: a structured taxonomy of the illusions that shape how we think, decide, believe, and act.
