- Book Synopsis
- Psychologists have been studying how we make political choices for years, and the truth is, we're a lot less rational than we think we are; we vote for reasons we're not even consciously aware of. In this absorbing book, Lee de-Wit delves into the science to show what kind of political animals we really are, looking at: personality type and political persuasion; tribalism and the appeal of nationalism; confirmation bias and fake news; emotional responses and irrational decision-making; fairness and cheating; altruism and self-interest; and race and group identity. Psychology can help us to better understand the decisions we make in modern politics, and there are fascinating insights to be gained-whether we agree with one another's views or not. Whether you want to know more about yourself, your friends and family, or the bigger political picture, this is essential reading.
