The Invisible Gorilla: And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us (Audiobook, MP3)The Invisible Gorilla: And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us (Audiobook, MP3)

Professors of Psychology Chabris and Simons write about six everyday illusions of perception and thought, including the beliefs that: we pay attention more than we do, our memories are more detailed than they are, confident people are competent people, we know more than we actually do, and our brains have reserves of power that are easy to unlock.

Gurcharan Das’s best-selling book India Unbound examined the classical aim of artha, material well being. This, his first book in seven years, dwells on the goal of dharma,moral well being.

What emerges is a doctrine of dharma that we can apply to our business decisions, political strategies and interpersonal relationships—in effect, to life itself.
