MISBELIEF

Author: Dan Ariely

Format: Paperback

Misinformation touches everyone's daily life, yet the problem runs deeper than social-media policing or partisan argument can address. In Misbelief, social scientist Dan Ariely examines the psychology of misbelief, the emotional, cognitive, personality and social forces that lead otherwise rational people to distrust accepted truths, entertain alternative facts and embrace conspiracy theories.

Drawing on years of research and his own experience as a target of disinformation, Ariely maps how anyone, under the right conditions, can be drawn down the funnel of false belief and mistrust.
