Book Synopsis On Being Certain by : Robert Alan Burton
Book excerpt: Neurologist Robert Burton challenges common notions about how people think about what they know, demonstrating how the feeling of certainty comes from a place beyond knowledge and control and is a mental sensation, not evidence of fact.
