Have you ever believed that a connection or pattern exists only to learn you imagined it? This is apophenia – the tendency to mistakenly see patterns, connections and meaning between unrelated things.

So, the next time you make a connection ask yourself, is there real evidence that a connection exists or are you simply seeing the “man in the moon?”

Have a great weekend!
