Description

Terry Burnham tries to find the answer to this question using psychology experiments and analyzes the phenomena of human perception that provokes people to choose the wrong path. The author’s focus is on the “brain of the lizard” – the primitive, instinctive component of human thinking. On the basis of many examples the author shows how instinctive and irrational trading can bring people to ruins, how traders make mistakes and how panic can sweep over masses.
