@thepsychologydropout: What if the way you experience reality is shaped by the words you use? We tend to think we’re simply observing the world as it is—but our brains are constantly interpreting, labeling, and organizing what we experience. Language doesn’t just describe the world. It can influence the way we notice, understand, and experience it. That’s the idea behind Tongue—a book designed to make you question the relationship between language, perception, and reality. And once you start paying attention to it, you may notice just how much of your experience is being filtered through the words in your head. How much of what you perceive is actually reality—and how much is your brain’s interpretation of it? Strange facts, weird psychology, the human mind, interesting facts
