Six Intuitions We Shouldn't Trust

From the new book Invisible Gorilla - Six intuitions we shouldn't trust (full review here):
 

• Inattentional blindness (failing to see things that are in plain sight);
• The belief that our memories are more reliable than they are;
• The tendency to think someone is competent if they are confident;
• The illusion of knowledge (we know much less than we think);
• The assumption that things that occur together must be causally related (think MMR vaccine and autism);
• And the increasingly popular notion that cognitive exercises make us smarter (in fact, physical exercise has a much stronger effect).
