The believing brain
from ghosts, gods, and aliens to conspiracies, economics, & politics : how the brain constructs beliefs & reinforces them as truths
byMichael Shermer
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.
