SuperSense: Why We Believe in the Unbelievable

SuperSense: Why We Believe in the Unbelievable

â€œIn an account chock full of real-world examples reinforced by experimental research, Hoodâ€™s marvelous book is an important contribution to the psychological literature that is revealing the actuality of our very irrational human nature.â€ â€” Science
In the vein of Malcolm Gladwellâ€™s Blink, Mary Roachâ€™s Spook, and Dan Arielyâ€™s Predictably Irrational, The Science of Superstition uses hard science to explain pervasive irrational beliefs and behaviors: from the superstitious rituals of sports stars, to the depreciated value of houses where murders were committed, to the adoration of Elvis.
