'Mind-expanding, a joy, her findings really are extraordinary' PROSPECT
Drawing on her groundbreaking research, Dr Leor Zmigrod uncovers the hidden mechanisms driving our beliefs and behaviours. She uses the powerful tools of neuroscience to show that our political beliefs are not transient thoughts in our minds - ideologies actually change our cells. And while some individuals are more suscep tible to dogmatic thinking than others, all of us can strive to be more flexible. The Ideological Brain is essential reading in today's polarized and polarizing world.
