(1 review)

Mixing a highly personal memoir, investigative journalism and the research from neuroscience and experimental psychology, the author reveals how the stories we tell ourselves about the world invisibly shape our beliefs, and how the neurological 'hero maker' inside us all can so easily lead to self deception, toxic partisanship and science denial.

Review of 'The heretics' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

I listened to the audiobook of this in my car. I assumed it was going to be insufferable, probably a DNF. It wasn't, and it was fascinating.
