Perception is the foundation of human experience, but few of us understand how our own perception works. By revealing the startling truths about the brain and perception, author Lotto shows that the next big innovation is not a new technology: it is a new way of seeing.
In his first major book, Lotto draws on over a decade of pioneering research to show how our brains play tricks on us. With an innovative combination of case studies and optical and perception illusion exercises, "Deviate" will revolutionize the way you see the world. With this new understanding of how the brain works and its perceptive trickery, we can apply these insights to every aspect of life and work.
"Deviate" is not just an engaging look into the neuroscience of thought, behavior and creativity: it is a call to action, enlisting readers in their own journey of self-discovery.

» The Last Gambit - Om Swami
Success by design is infinitely better than a win by chance. Vasu Bhatt is 14 years old when a mysterious old man spots him at a chess tournament and offers to coach him - on two simple but strange conditions: he would not accompany his student to tournaments and there would be no digging into his past.
Initially resentful, Vasu begins to gradually understand his master's mettle. Over eight years, master and student come to love and respect each other, but the two conditions remain unbroken - until Vasu confronts and provokes the old man.
Meanwhile, their hard work and strategy pay off: Vasu qualifies for the World Chess Championship. But can he make it all the way without his master by his side? Inspiring, moving and mercurial, "The Last Gambit " is a coming-of-age tale in a uniquely Indian context.
