Description

The hidden brain is the voice in our ear when we make the most important
decisions in our lives—but we’re never aware of it. The hidden brain
decides whom we fall in love with and whom we hate. It tells us to vote for
the white candidate and convict the dark-skinned defendant, to hire the
thin woman but pay her less than the man doing the same job. It can direct
us to safety when disaster strikes and move us to extraordinary acts of
altruism. But it can also be manipulated to turn an ordinary person into a
suicide terrorist or a group of bystanders into a mob. In a series of
compulsively readable narratives, Shankar Vedantam journeys through the
latest discoveries in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral science to
uncover the darkest corner of our minds and its decisive impact on the
choices we make as individuals and as a society. Filled with fascinating
characters, dramatic storytelling, and cutting-edge science, this is an
engrossing exploration of the secrets our brains keep from us—and how they
are revealed.
