Your brain is not as logical as you may imagine it to be! According to psychologists, the human brain tends to make certain mistakes when thinking, and this can make one think in very nonsensical ways. Such “thinking mistakes” can happen to anyone and they can make one make wrong decisions in one’s daily life.

The website is completely free.
