This book is based on the theory that our cognitive process is the result of routine. Moreover it makes the proposition that this cognitive routine is not an inherent human condition but that it is a process that we are all indoctrinated into starting from the moment of our birth.
While this cognitive routine has many advantages, like allowing humanity to communicate and work together on a massive scale, it also greatly limits our perceptive abilities.
As such, the book challenges the reader to either prove or disprove this theory of cognitive routine by introducing a number of techniques that can help to disrupt this routine and therefore change a person’s perceptive patterns.
