Why do we still knock on wood or cringe at walking under ladders?
Why does the internet lose its mind over dancing cats or egg-shaped memes?
Why does “limited-time offer” turn us into shopaholics-in-training?
Why do some people see secret societies lurking behind every corner?
Why do we spend hours perfecting selfies only to cringe at them later?
Psychonomic(x) takes us on a fascinating journey through the quirky, irrational, and mysterious corners of human behavior. Are our choices truly ours, or is the mind quietly pulling the strings behind the scenes?
Through the sharp lens of psychology, this book unpacks the oddities of everyday life - superstitions, viral trends, compulsive shopping, conspiracy theories, and even our relentless need to perfect that selfie angle.
Thought-provoking and full of insight, Psychonomic(x) holds up a mirror to the human mind. Dive in to discover why we do the things we do, and why we’re far less predictable than we think.

VS Bhard
VS Bhard moonlights as a Psychology Researcher and spends his days as a corporate slogger.
Armed with a Computer Science degree, an MBA, and a double Master’s in Psychology, he has carefully curated the perfect disguise of a seasoned professional. Some might call him overqualified; he just calls it “hedging his bets” or “antics of an eternally confused being”.
Over the past 1.5 decades, VS has hopped between a range of companies and industries so diverse they could make a chameleon jealous. Yet, despite all this, a part of him remains unassumingly unsatisfied, chasing the elusive “meaning of it all”.
In his personal quest to decode the complexities of the human mind (starting from his own), VS has wandered through the shadowy alleys of psychology, occasionally stopping to marvel at how much humans resemble their browser histories.
This book is his effort to piece together this randomness of the human mind.
Equal parts thinker, researcher, and a slightly lost soul, he invites you to join him on this thought-provoking journey into the human psyche.
