Acerca deste libro electrónico

Facts Vs Beliefs explores the psychological battle between objective reality and our deeply ingrained convictions, revealing how cognitive biases like confirmation bias and motivated reasoning shape our perception. The book examines why people often reject facts that challenge their beliefs, highlighting the human tendency to selectively process information to reinforce pre-existing worldviews. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial, especially considering that our brains are not simply passive receivers of data but active constructors of reality, influenced by emotions and social factors.

The book progresses by first laying a foundation of core psychological principles, supported by research on cognitive biases. It then applies these principles to specific, contentious issues such as climate change and political polarization, presenting case studies and empirical data. Finally, Facts Vs Beliefs offers strategies for bridging the gap between factual information and belief systems, emphasizing critical thinking and open-mindedness. It argues that intellectual humility is key to navigating today's information-saturated world.
