Hypersanity

I love this book! It's simply written, and it succeeds in making you truly think. I wanted to learn how to better engage people in arguments or debates over socio-political issues and reading this was the refresher course I needed.
Thank you Netgalley for the eARC.
What I do know for sure is that it's not a book to be read in one sitting- you can select a chapter or two to reflect on and this means as a reader you actually get more from the book.

This is a wonderful book thst examines thinking and shows you how to think better. It doesn't just examine the logical aspect but the imaginative as well, among other things. Absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend it if you are at all interested in the science of thought or want to improve your own.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy free of charge. This is my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

Interesting but not for everyone. I found it difficult to engage but the concepts are quite good for developing thinking and logic. I think you need to be in a philosophical mood to fully dig in and enjoy.

I really enjoyed this book - it definitely made me think :) The book is accessible and interesting, explaining some very difficult concepts in ways that are easy to digest.

Similar to another reviewer, the cover art went a long way, as far as drawing me into this book. Thankfully, it is more than just a fun, unusual cover. Much more.
It’s a book about thinking, which will change and/or expand upon what it is that you think about thinking, how you think, what you think, and why you think. (Or at least I think it will.).
There were a number of points - as I worked my way through this enjoyable, enlightening book - where I thought, “I’m going to want to revisit this part again”, because of how insightful it was. And despite the complexity of much of what is covered, it is presented in very approachable, easily understandable way.
I received a free ARC of this book from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.

Hypersanity is a interesting and unique book that you will either like or dislike. I enjoyed some of the advice and points in the book.

This book details all the ways we use our brain. It starts with arguments, how they are built, goes through fallacies (with a quick stop for some critical thinking questions). The book lists what the author considers enemies of the rational thought (self-deception, cognitive bias and cognitive distortion), different ways of argumentative or non-argumentative rhetoric. We then dive into the differences in languages and how that shapes one's brain. Then there is a flow between reason/intelligence/knowledge, which leads to chapters about memory, emotion, intuition, and imagination. All the chapters are short but interesting and insightful. I was expecting a final chapter that would combine all the previous ones, but by not having that chapter, it is more objective in it's telling, allowing the reader to have his opinion on what he feels is most important. It's a book to go back and reflect on, to analyze the ideas presented.

Complex, insightful and philosophically based, this book made me look at how I think. Which is a good thing, as ever - examining your thought processes is an important thing.
I'll be revisiting this book after I finish uni for the year - there are some concepts I think I could adapt to apply to some AI projects that I'm looking at.
