DESCRIPTION

Collective Illusions: Conformity, Complicity, and the Science of Why We Make Bad Decisions

**National Bestseller**Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, behavioral economic, and social

psychology research, acclaimed author, former Harvard professor, and think tank founder Todd Rose

reveals how so much of our thinking about each other is informed by false assumptions that drive bad

decisions that make us dangerously mistrustful as a society and hopelessly unhappy as individuals. The

desire to fit in is one of the most powerful, least understood forces in a society.&nbspTod Rose believes

that as human beings we continually act against our own best interests out of our

brains&#8217misunderstanding of what we think others believe.&nbspA 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 desperately needed organ transplants, from racial

segregation to the perceived &#8220elctability&#8221of women for political office, from bottled water to

&#8220cacel culture,&#8221we routinely copy others, lie about what we believe, cling to tribes, and

silence others.&nbspWeare so profoundly social that when we are incongruent with the group that we do

lasting damage to our self-worth, diminish our well-being and never realize our full potential.

It&#8217swhy we all too often chase the familiar trappings of money, fame, and success that leave us

feeling empty even when we do achieve them. It&#8217swhy we&#8217llblindly espouse a viewpoint we

don&#8217tnecessarily believe in so that we blend in with the group. We trap ourselves in prisons of our

own making that prevent us from living the happy, fulfilled lives we envision.&nbspThequestion is, Why

do we keep believing the lies and hurting ourselves?&nbspTod Rose reveals the answer is deeply hardwired

in our DNA, with brains that 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 true to who we

are.&nbspnbspUsing originally researched data, Collective Illusions shows us where we get things wrong

and just as important, how we can be authentic in forming our opinions while valuing truth. Rose offers a

counterintuitive, empowering, and hopeful explanation for how we can bridge the inference gap, make

decisions with a newfound clarity, and achieve fulfillment. Only then can we transform ourselves, and

ultimately, society.&nbsp&nbspnbsp
