CONSIDER THIS YOUR WARNING!
You - like many people - may not know that we believe most of the lies we hear. But it’s the truth. As such, the reality paradox is that our experiences and the world around us are at once completely real and completely illusory. The power of our resulting perpetual mistakes is to define truth in our consciousness in a delusional way.
Follow Criminal Psychologist STEPHEN PORTER, Ph.D., as he shares his ground-breaking research on memory, reality, and our understanding of the human condition. As you explore how your personal reality is defined by the lies you tell yourself - and the ones others tell - you will never be the same!
ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!
In The Reality Paradox, STEPHEN PORTER, Ph.D. delves into the illusory nature of our experiences and the world around us.

PRAISE FOR THE REALITY PARADOX
“We are fascinated by crime stories and drama, not because we are all so different from criminals, but because we can see some of ourselves in these criminals... The Reality Paradox places a high precision mirror in front of ourselves, sharing fascinating stories and important lessons and insights about the humanity that is within all of us.”
- Dr. Dan Ariely, New York Times best-seller and author of The Honest Truth about Dishonesty
“The Reality Paradox is a lovely way to learn about the workings of the human mind. Be prepared to be convinced that our memories can be real and unreal at the same time.”
- Dr. Elizabeth Loftus, Distinguished Professor, University of California, Irvine, and author of Eyewitness Testimony
“Memories are the foundation of our very sense of self. But is that foundation entirely… real? In The Reality Paradox, Stephen Porter, Ph.D. painstakingly uses philosophy, literature, art, research, and his own extensive forensic field experience and comes up with answers that are challenging, engaging, scholarly and entertaining. ”
- David Marxsen, Criminal Investigative Psychologist with the “E” Division Behavioural Analysis Unit of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
“The Reality Paradox is a well written book that overviews how our pasts can be constructed in our minds in ways that contradict what really happened. The conducting and publicising of research on how memory illusions and lies can render people blind to themselves and their world is of crucial importance.”
- Dr. Ray Bull, Psychologist and Emeritus Professor of Forensic Psychology at the University of Leicester
