Introduction

Despite the vastness of psychology, the human mind remains a puzzling landscape filled with fascinating contradictions and unexpected revelations. From the emotional background to the decision-making process to interesting aspects of perception, our self-knowledge continues to evolve. We’ve identified 11 mind-bending paradoxes that reveal the complexities of human behavior and offer profound insights into the operations of the mind:
