Super Sense by Bruce M. Hood
Why We Believe in the Unbelievable
This intriguing exploration delves into the human mind's innate tendency to perceive supernatural forces and patterns in the world around us. It examines how our brains are wired to create these "super senses," leading us to believe in concepts like luck, fate, and the existence of unseen entities. The narrative combines insights from psychology, neuroscience, and anthropology to reveal why these beliefs are so pervasive and how they shape our understanding of reality. Through a series of engaging examples and thought-provoking experiments, the book challenges readers to reconsider the origins and implications of their own intuitive beliefs.
