Why We Think What We Think : The Unexpected Origins of Our Deepest Beliefs

Why do our fiercest arguments flare up with the people we love most? Are our views really forged by reason and evidence - or by forces we barely notice? And if the world feels more divided than ever, is that entirely a bad thing? In Why We Think What We Think, Turi Munthe uncovers the startling origins of our deepest beliefs. Without knowing it, almost all our opinions - whether we believe in God or in ghosts, our views on sex or animal rights or immigration, our basic sense of what's right - are shaped by a mesmerizing web of hidden factors.
