Why do we make irrational decisions? How do our emotions affect our thinking? How can we transform our understanding of the neuroscience and psychology of curiosity into practical solutions to overcome its destructive consequences and harness this powerful force for the benefit of civilization? In his clear and accessible book, Humanity: Renaissance, author Aleksandr Prokofev explores the hidden cognitive structures that really influence our judgments and actions. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience and behavioral economics, the author uses conversational language and popular science to demonstrate how phenomena such as confirmation bias and perceptual distortion work. The book offers practical tools and strategies to help readers recognize their own cognitive traps, make better decisions, and improve the quality of their lives.
