The Mind is Flat

In 'The Mind is Flat,' pre-eminent behavioural scientist Nick Chater presents a radical reinterpretation of how the human mind operates. This book challenges the long-held notion of a hidden, unconscious inner life, proposing instead that our thoughts, beliefs, and desires are generated spontaneously in the moment. Drawing on contemporary research in neuroscience, behavioural psychology, and perception, Chater argues that the concept of deep mental 'depths' is a myth, explaining why our preferences and convictions often appear inconsistent and changeable.Why You Should Read?
