The Very Hard Book.

This book asks you to do some things. They are very hard things to do, but they are fun. And they are silly. And they might show you how to think about thinking. The brainchild of esteemed science writer Idan Ben-Barak, The Very Hard Book is an adorable gateway to metacognition and the philosophy of mind.

The Very Hard Book is published in Australia and the UK by Allen & Unwin (Aug 2022), and in China by Trustbridge Publishing.

The Very Hard Book was shortlisted for the Australian Book Design Awards (ABDA) 2023, Best Designed Children’s Non-Fiction Book.
