• In this groundbreaking exploration of how our brains work
• Psychologist Dr Kevin Dutton explains that by understanding the nature of our hardwired black and white thinking we are better equipped to negotiate life's grey zones and make subtler and smarter decisions
• Our brains are hardwired to sort
• Categorize and draw lines
• It's how we navigate the kaleidoscope of everyday information
• Yet imagine failing an exam by a mere 1 per cent
• Or being caught speeding at just 1 mph over the speed limit
• We have to draw the line somewhere
• We say
• But lines can be unhelpful or even dangerous when drawn where they aren't wanted
