This book is all about emotions and experience. It is a trip inside ourselves to discover our deepest sides, the hidden ones, the diversity of our feelings and the reality of human nature.Think of how many times a day we are in open conflict with our own selves, debating internally, and deep inside our minds, on various issues, from the most trivial ones to the most serious, such as what suit or dress to wear; if we should attend a social event instead of relaxing comfortably at home; whether to buy a new car or a nice necklace; date that person that we find attractive; maybechange job, or perhaps split from our partner in life.We are permanent hostages to our conflicting feelings and sentiments; those debates are a continuous dialogue between our heart, our impulses and our reason; as a matter of fact, we all have many hidden sides that tearus apart whenever we have to make up our minds.Those are the romantic side, the rational side, the wise side and so many other various sides of our personalities; we often end up being inspired by the side that fits our mood the most at a particular moment.And now let me introduce you to the three characters of this book. The first one is Henri. He is a young man in his mid-thirties, successful, logical, down-to-earth, focused, but at the same time devoid of emotion, ruthless, superficial, vain, and maybe even a little narcissistic sometimes.Our second character is Sophie, a young woman in her ate twenties. She is romantic, sentimental, bohemian, an artist on her cloud, always in love, and totally disconnected from reality.And finally, our third character is an old man, an experienced one, a philosopher who has been battered by life. We don't know his name, but the two others callhim "Old man". He has seen it all and has come to be at peace with himself, he is the wise man of our story.The three heroes of our book are engaged in an internal exchange, sometimes heated, other times contemplative or philosophical, about various issues in life.This book is all about emotions and experience. It is a trip inside ourselves to discover our deepest sides, the hidden ones, our diverse feelings and the reality of human nature.This book is a contemplation of life, of our inner self, and a celebration of love, dreams and happiness.

Every emotion is born out of either love or fear. At any single moment, the presence of one is the absence of another. Our fear based emotions (anger, hatred, fear etc) are driven by our basic instinct to survive and they trigger the body's automatic fight or flight reaction. The trouble with fight or flight is that it will be triggered with 'perceived' danger too and perception is subject to our experiences so in effect we become prisoners of those experiences trapped behind fear and the illusion of danger. To break free from this prison, Jonathan must learn to love himself, his neighbor and his enemy.Mirrors of Illusion is a story about Jonathan's journey. His deep affection for his family and Emilie are only matched by the feelings of anxiety and apprehension that they also evoke. As he works hard to make something of himself and take care of his alcoholic brother and mother, he chooses to end his relationship with Emilie - a decision that leaves both of them in immeasurable pain. He then meets Peter, his new belligerent boss but loving father with a troubled soul. Peter unwittingly forces Jonathan to reflect on himself, his family and Emilie while asking himself one question...which part of them and his life is actually real?

“[A] well-researched and well-written book . . . linking traditional folklore studies to current scientific research and to thinking about human behavior.” —American Journal of Play Wiggling a pencil so that it looks like it is made of rubber, “stealing” your niece’s nose, and listening for the sounds of the ocean in a conch shell—these are examples of folk illusions, youthful play forms that trade on perceptual oddities. In this groundbreaking study, K. Brandon Barker and Claiborne Rice argue that these easily overlooked instances of children’s folklore offer an important avenue for studying perception and cognition in the contexts of social and embodied development. Folk illusions are traditionalized verbal and/or physical actions that are performed with the intention of creating a phantasm for one or more participants. Using a cross-disciplinary approach that combines the ethnographic methods of folklore with the empirical data of neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychology, Barker and Rice catalogue over eighty discrete folk illusions while exploring the complexities of embodied perception. Taken together as a genre of folklore, folk illusions show that people, starting from a young age, possess an awareness of the illusory tendencies of perceptual processes as well as an awareness that the distinctions between illusion and reality are always communally formed. “With clear focal points, sound and carefully explained methodology, and thought-provoking, substantial analysis, this book makes an excellent contribution to children’s folklore and related fields.” —Elizabeth Tucker, author of Children’s Folklore: A Handbook “A compendium of perceptual illusions, gathered from performers across the country, sorted into formally related perceptual categories, and analyzed under various theories of perception.” —Journal of Folklore Research

Although current debates in epistemology and philosophy of mind show a renewed interest in perceptual illusions, there is no systematic work in the philosophy of perception and in the psychology of perception with respect to the concept of illusion and the relation between illusion and error. This book aims to fill that gap.
