The believing brain : from ghosts and gods to politics and conspiracies--how we construct beliefs and reinforce them as truths

Shermer, Michael. (Author).

Summary: Shermer demonstrates how our brains selectively assess data in an attempt to confirm the conclusions (beliefs) we've already reached. Drawing on evolution, cognitive science, and neuroscience, he considers not only supernatural beliefs but political and economic ones as well.
