Description :
Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and social psychology research, an
acclaimed author demonstrates how so much of our thinking is informed by
false assumptions making us dangerously mistrustful as a society and
needlessly unhappy as individuals. The desire to fit in is one of the most
powerful, least understood forces in society. Todd Rose believes that as
human beings, we continually act against our own best interests because our
brains misunderstand what others believe. A complicated set of illusions driven
by conformity bias distorts how we see the world around us. From toilet paper
shortages to kidneys that get thrown away rather than used for transplants
from racial segregation to the perceived electability of women in politics from
bottled water to cancel culture, we routinely copy others, lie about what we
believe, cling to tribes, and silence people. The question is, Why do we keep
believing the lies and hurting ourselves? Todd Rose proves that the answer is
hard-wired in our DNA: our brains are more socially dependent than we realize
or dare to accept. Most of us would rather be fully in sync with the social
norms of our respective groups than be true to who we are. Using originally
researched data, Collective Illusions shows us where we get things wrong and,
just as important, how we can be authentic in forming opinions while valuing
truth. Rose offers a counterintuitive yet empowering explanation for how we
can bridge our inference gap, make decisions with a newfound clarity, and
achieve fulfillment. **National Bestseller** **Wall Street Journal Bestseller**
