À propos de ce contenu audio
What if the greatest danger to humanity is not ignorance, but the illusions of knowledge?
In this provocative collection of essays, Boris Kriger unravels the deceits of human thought—its rationalizations, its comforting lies, its masks of philosophy, religion, and economics. From the absurdities of bohemia to the corruption of charity, from the false promises of systems to the fragile brilliance of uncalculated kindness, Tricks of the Mind exposes how easily we mistake coherence for truth, greed for prudence, ritual for spirit.
And yet, at the heart of these essays lies a paradox: the very impulses most dismissed as irrational—love, generosity, creativity—are what make us most fully human.
Written with irony, clarity, and a refusal to flatter the age, this book invites listeners not to seek answers but to sharpen their awareness of the riddles. It reminds us that the cosmos itself gives freely—the sun, the stars, the sea—and that perhaps the noblest trick of all is to learn how to give, how to wonder, and how to resist the mind’s deceptions.
Tricks of the Mind is not a manual of truth, but a companion for those who refuse to be lulled by illusions.
