This book brings together several different cognitive theories to help understand how different individuals deal with ambiguous information. While some individuals have a high need for context, others are more comfortable when new information doesn't neatly fit into their current understanding of the world. This is a great book for learning how to understand different points of view and how some individuals choose to interpret events differently from others. I began reading nonsense with wide eyes and an open mind, by page 15 I was ABSOLUTELY HOOKED. Holmes opens up another world inside his books, creating great questions to ask yourself. I was incredibly fascinated with the concepts of psychology and his book truly shows the question behind "how our minds work"? I'd recommend to those who love scientific questioning novels.
