"You'll never get a naysayer to change his mind" (Psychology)

Never before in human history have we had more access to information than we do now.
Never before has our knowledge of the world we live in and how it works been comparable to what we have now.

And yet, how is it possible that we firmly believe in hoaxes and superstitions? Why do we believe and spread stories and news that have never happened? What explains why, despite the evidence, we are not willing to change our minds or even modify them?

The answers to these questions, as we will see in the book, have to do with multiple causes. To begin with, we will analyze why human beings are far from being rational beings. We will understand how we process information in a way that is far from objective because, ultimately, we seek to believe what we want to believe.

We will examine why our memory is not reliable and how we create false memories in a perfect way. Psychology
