This is an automatically translated description
How do we fall victim to fakes, fraud and lies, do stupid things, make ineffective or even harmful decisions? How do we get fooled and why do we allow it to happen?
The book The Illusion of Efficiency: How and Why We Are Fooled offers the reader a journey into a world of irrationality, sham, chaos, lies, and denial of reality. A world that prefers to level the individual, to turn a person into a fertile object for manipulation. The author considers the power of illusion and deception as an accomplice in the enslavement of the human mind in the context of the senselessness of mass consumption of goods and information, phishing in economics and politics, the crisis of the chaos society and post-truth.
How to free yourself from the grip of absurdity, which seeks to prove its all-conquering power? How to protect yourself from manipulation? How to maintain a sense of reality? This book will be of interest to anyone who has ever questioned the stereotypes imposed from the outside and the expediency of everything that happens in our small and big worlds. Who has the courage to challenge the disorientation, chaos and panic provoked by manipulators. Who wants to stand up for the real world in spite of the widespread illusions we face at every turn.
