Models of Reality is about how we perceive and think and how thought has developed historically. The book focuses on critical thinking and reasoning and their importance in today's world. It's not the kind of book that is likely to make you (or me) a lot of money. But that's okay.
It is the kind of book that can help you become more aware of the many common flaws and biases we all experience in our thinking. Important issues are often complex and difficult to understand. Self-awareness and examination of our thought processes make better decisions possible. We need to work hard to ascertain the facts and truth about vital issues. Our daily lives and futures depend on it.
The first step to better thinking is often simply to examine the common errors in the ways we think, the distortions in the models of the world that each of us holds. Models of Reality details many of these. Because if we don't examine our thought processes, we are doomed to make the same mistakes over and over again. That is a luxury we can no longer afford.
