Reviews for The Believing Brain
The Believing Brain
An excellent review of the biology, psychology, physics, chemistry, neurology, evolution, sociology of how the brain produces belief. It's also very readable, treating topics including faith, conspiracy theories such as doubts about the explanations for the World Trade Center collapse, morals. I'd give it a 6 if I could. by Susan Freiman
