Undercover Philosopher
"A great book! Writing with clarity and good humour, Michael Phillips reminds me of a great philosophical collector, an Aristotle of errors, as he enthusiastically categorizes specimens of every kind of mistake, con and self-deception and describes how we can guard against them." --Rick Lewis, Editor of Philosophy Now"A magnificent book - a user's guide to one's own brain.  He details the insidious tricks our brains play on us and how to guard against them. As a scientist, I found humbling, but right on target, his assessment of the sociological limitations on our search for Truth.  His writing is compact, clear, and delightfully free of academic jargon." --Steven N. Austad, author of Why We Age: What Science Is Discovering about the Body's Journey Through Life
