The Believing Brain: From Ghosts and Gods to Politics and Conspiracies (2012)

Description: The Believing Brain: From Ghosts and Gods to Politics and Conspiracies (2012) Synthesizing thirty years of research, psychologist and science historian Michael Shermer upends the traditional thinking about how humans form beliefs about the world. Simply put, beliefs come first and explanations for beliefs follow. The brain, Shermer argues, is a belief engine. In The Believing Brain, Shermer provides countless real-world examples of how this process operates, from politics, economics, and religion to conspiracy theories, the supernatural, and the paranormal. Ultimately, he demonstrates why science is the best tool ever devised to determine whether or not our beliefs match reality.
