Omschrijving

What if the reality you experience every moment of every day—from the vibrant red of a sunset to the solid feel of the ground beneath your feet—is not a window to the world, but a masterful illusion crafted by the silent projector of your own mind?

As a computer technologist and a lifelong researcher of philosophy and psychology, Al Mahmud Al Mamun has stood at the intersection of two great intelligences: the silicon brain and the human one. My journey into the elegant logic of machines revealed a profound truth about our own messy, beautiful, and often deceptive minds: we are all living inside a simulation of our own making.

In Insight Beyond Illusion, we will embark on a grand tour of this inner world, a 24-chapter journey to understand the hidden architecture of our own consciousness. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, timeless philosophical wisdom, and the emerging realities of our technological age, this book is a user's guide to the human mind.

Inside, you will discover:

The Silent Projector: How the intricate machinery of your brain actively constructs, rather than just receives, every sight, sound, and feeling you experience. Glitches in the Code: A comprehensive field guide to the cognitive biases and mental shortcuts that systematically distort your judgment and shape your reality. The Mirage of the Self: An investigation into the nature of the "I," deconstructing the ego not as a solid entity, but as a fluid, ever-changing story. The Digital Looking Glass: A critical look at how social media, algorithms, AI, and virtual reality are creating powerful new layers of illusion, reshaping our identity and our connection to a "baseline" reality. The Toolkit for Clarity: Practical, actionable chapters on the disciplines that can lead to a clearer mind—from the art of mindfulness and the power of self-inquiry to the perceptual shifts of empathy and the bedrock of critical thinking.

This is not merely a book of fascinating theories; it is a practical guide to living an examined life in a world of increasing complexity and distraction. It is a toolkit for cognitive self-defense, designed to help you navigate the inherent illusions of your mind, reclaim your attention from forces that seek to capture it, and ultimately live a more authentic, purposeful, and connected life.

If you are ready to question everything you thought you knew about yourself and the world, to move from being a passive consumer of reality to its conscious co-creator, then your journey begins here.
