The new science of humanity's greatest power -- introspection -- and how understanding this ability offers our best defence against AI

How do you know when you've studied enough to pass an exam?
Should you accept the testimony of an eyewitness?

How do you know when to trust a doctor's orders?

Self awareness is humans' greatest superpower. Like the conductor of an orchestra, self awareness guides the musicians of the mind - memory, creativity, intelligence and skill - to perform at their best. So why do we so often get it wrong?

Drawing on his own pioneering studies, as well as cutting-edge research in computer science, psychology and evolutionary biology, Stephen Fleming shows how we can learn from this groundbreaking new science, and gain the edge in a rapidly changing world.
