Today, misinformation surrounds us on all sides and, along with the "crisis of confidence", is a serious problem. When certain factors combine, people begin to process incoming information in a particular way, without critically analyzing it, drawing categorical conclusions with an unshakable confidence in their own correctness.
Dan Ariely, a renowned sociologist and author of several bestselling books on the psychology of irrationality, pays special attention to the phenomenon of delusion, describing why rational people lose the ability to think critically and accept blatantly false facts. He provides a comprehensive analysis of the psychological, cognitive, personal and social factors that push people into the so-called vortex of delusion. These include stress, bias, special social and psychological needs, and more.
Dan Ariely does not simply lead the reader through the maze of misinformation, but offers sound methods and recommendations to help cope with the information flows that bombard us on a daily basis, as well as to protect ourselves and our loved ones from the vortex of delusion. The strategies offered by the author are based on empathy and support, without judgment and negativity.
