Humanish: How Anthropomorphism Makes Us Smart, Weird and Delusional by Justin Gregg is a witty, thought-provoking exploration of one of the most human habits of all: seeing minds, intentions, and personalities everywhere around us. From pets and gadgets to gods and cities, Gregg examines why we instinctively anthropomorphise—and how this tendency can both sharpen our thinking and lead us astray.
Blending science, psychology, and lively storytelling, this book will appeal to readers who enjoy fresh ideas about the mind and behaviour. It is a smart, accessible read that reveals how our strange habit of giving human traits to the world shapes the way we understand reality, relationships, and ourselves.
