Γιατί μία εταιρεία ξοδεύει δισεκατομμύρια για να προωθήσει ένα προϊόν που οι ίδιοι οι αναλυτές της γνωρίζουν ότι θα αποτύχει;Πως μπορεί ένας αστυνομικός να περάσει τρέχοντας μπροστά από μία σκηνή βίαιης επίθεσης χωρίς να τη δει;Γιατί βραβευμένες ταινίες είναι γεμάτες λάθη στο μοντάζ;Τί κοινό έχουν οι εγκληματίες με τους κορυφαίους σκακιστές;Γιατί η ιλαρά και άλλες παιδικές ασθένειες επιστρέφουν;Γιατί οι οικονομικοί διευθυντές μπορούν να μάθουν πολλά από τους μετεωρολόγους;Ο "Αόρατος γορίλλας" αποκαλύπτει τους πολυάριθμους τρόπους με τους οποίους η διαίσθησή μας μπορεί να μας παραπλανήσει, αλλά είναι πολύ περισσότερα από ένας κατάλογος ανθρωπίνων ελαττωμάτων. Οι Τσάμπρις και Σάιμονς εξηγούν γιατί υποκύπτουμε σε αυτές τις καθημερινές ψευδαισθήσεις και τι μπορούμε να κάνουμε για προστατευτούμε από τις επιδράσεις τους. Εντέλει, το βιβλίο προσφέρει ένα είδος όρασης με ακτίνες Χ, διαπερνώντας έτσι το πέπλο των ψευδαισθήσεων που θολώνουν τις σκέψεις μας, και για πρώτη φορά ίσως να σκεφτούμε καθαρά.
