Publisher's Summary
What if a single cause lies beneath millions of misunderstandings and mistakes?
What if the foundation of modern technology introduced an invisible bias into our thinking?
What if you could understand why so many arguments go wrong and how to set them right?
In a world awash with illusion and misinformation, this is a profound and practical guide towards clarity. It has philosophy for non-philosophers, hypnosis for non-hypnotists, and stories for hungry hearts. From Arizona to Madagascar, we join an intriguing journey in search of understanding via psychotherapy, storytelling, and the British Library, uncovering on our way the vulnerabilities that lurk within our language.

Critic Reviews
"John Heron meets Roger Zelazny in this rollercoaster ride through some of the multi-layered intricacies of human consciousness and how we make sense of things. Written for grownups—such an immense relief to be spared the smug condescension to be commonly found in such writings. Willbourn is determined to meet us on his level, and if we’re not there already we find ourselves picked up by the scruff and ceremoniously brought along. Quite exhilarating. And very very funny in many parts. I don’t agree with everything he says, but I loved reading it anyway. This is a robust, challenging, absorbing, lively and illuminating read. And utterly human and personal. Almost impossible to put down." (Catherine Llewellyn, www.yesyounow.today)
