The Art of Mental Autonomy

The problem of our age is that we have too much information and too little time to discern the true from the false, the important from the trivial, and the useful from the harmful. As such, the digital age, which once promised a revolution of knowledge and understanding, has left us more confused than ever.

The Art of Mental Autonomy is the antidote, designed to equip readers with the means to find truth amid the cacophony. Written by Gurwinder Bhogal - a computer scientist who brings unassailable logic to the question of what's gone wrong with the way we think - it functions as a 'software update' for the brain, explaining one concept per day that helps to identify our blind-spots and open our minds.

Covering concepts from 'attention economy' to 'babble hypothesis', this book will help us to make more informed decisions and avoid the digital pitfalls of misinformation, polarisation, and social contagion - and to meet the unprecedented challenges of the modern age.
