Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in return for my honest opinion
**Cogito, Ergo, Cogito Cogito: A Revolutionary Perspective on Thought**
In the realm of philosophy and cognitive science, few statements are as famous as René Descartes’ “Cogito, ergo sum” or “I think, therefore I am.” *MIND: PSYCHOLOGY--The Untold Story* by David L. Shepard invites readers to delve deeper into the complexities of our thinking processes. This thought-provoking work challenges traditional notions about the nature of thought and self-awareness, asserting that the very act of thinking can create an illusion of coherent thought.
The author skillfully lays out a framework that encourages readers to reconsider how they engage with their thoughts. Rather than taking the ability to think for granted, the book prompts us to examine the mechanisms of our minds and how external influences shape our cognitive processes. It argues that our environment – from societal norms to media consumption – profoundly impacts how we perceive ourselves and others, often leading to misinterpretations and biases.
One of the most captivating aspects of this book is its emphasis on self-assessment. Readers are encouraged to test their thinking patterns and recognize the habitual ways in which they filter experiences. The author posits that by becoming more aware of our thought processes, we can enhance cognitive flexibility and improve our overall mental well-being.
This revolutionary approach to understanding thought not only broadens our perspective on cognition but also invites us to acknowledge the intricate relationship between our minds and the world around us. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, embracing this new way of thinking can lead to deeper insights and more meaningful connections with ourselves and others.
In a world where information overload is the norm, *Cogito, Ergo, Cogito Cogito* offers a refreshing lens through which we can explore our mental landscapes. It is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the nuances of thought and the profound impact of our environments on our minds.

A totally different approach to how we think about the mind and learning. Easy to read but it will definitely make you think differently.
