Misbelief: What Makes Rational People Believe Irrational Things
BasicBinding: Hardcover
Author: Ariely, Dan
Publisher: Harper
Date Published: 09-2023
ISBN: 0063280426 | EAN: 9780063280427
BasicBinding: Hardcover
Features: Bibliography, Index, Price on Product | Pages: 320
Annotation: "Misinformation affects all of us on a daily basis, from social media to larger political challenges, from casual conversations in supermarkets to even our closest relationships. While we recognize the dangers that misinformation poses, the problem is complex, far beyond what policing social media alone can achieve, and too often our limited solutions are shaped by partisan politics and individual interpretations of truth. ... Ariely argues that to understand the irrational appeal of misinformation, we must first understand the behavior of 'misbelief,' the psychological and social journey that leads people to mistrust accepted truths, entertain alternative facts, and even embrace full-blown conspiracy theories. Misinformation, it turns out, appeals to something innate in all of us, ... and it is only by understanding this psychology that we can blunt its effects"

Written by a team of nationally recognized African American social work professionals with extensive and distinguished backgrounds of HIV/AIDS service, the book examines the crisis facing African American communities.

This book serves as a wake-up call and is designed to stimulate discussion and planning for new models of service to all African Americans and HIV prevention, education, and treatment.

Annotation: Nicholas Eberstadt's landmark 2016 study, Men without Work, cast a spotlight on the collapse of work for men in modern America.

Annotation: Brad Aronson's life changed in an instant when his wife Mia was diagnosed with leukemia. He spent most of the next two and a half years either by her side as she received treatment or trying to shield their five-year-old son Jack from the worst of Mia's illness. Amid the stress and despair of waiting for the treatment to work, Brad and Mia were met by an outpouring of kindness from friends, family, and even complete strangers. Inspired by the many demonstrations of "humankindness" that supported their family through Mia's recovery, Brad began writing about the people who rescued his family from that dark time, often with the smallest of gestures.

Annotation: Basing their vision on a provocative theory of American history as series of recurring 80- to 100-year cycles, the authors predict that, just after the millennium, America will enter a new era that will culminate with a political and social crisis comparable to the American Revolution, the Civil War, and World War II. "The Fourth Turning" shows how it is not too early--or too late--to prepare for our next rendezvous with destiny.
