Magical Thinking –the book– is a homage to cognitive biases. It is directly connected to the author’s personal experiences, modified through his writing style in order to become as educative as possible for his students.

Cognitive biases are not just interesting and amusing stories; they reflect the very deviation of our culture, our educational systems and our way of seeing, and thus forming, not only “our” world, but the world of the generations to come.

In this book, you will read -among other things- about
five basic concepts, Hypnosis, Magical Thinking, Right
(Wo)Man and Mechanical / Habitual Self, and of course,
the fault of the senses! I shall reveal in what way these
notions are connected as you keep on reading.
Magical thinking is basically thinking based on
emotions. Mind you, emotions (and hence,
understanding) is a powerful tool that may drive our acts
successfully. Emotion is also the prerequisite for
learning. However, “emotional clarity” may come only
after long and special practice, something most people
have no idea how to do...
