商品簡介
A June 2008 survey revealed that 80 percent of Americans believe in angels and demons as active forces in their everyday lives. Davis (psychology, University of Guelph, Canada) laments a modern world in which more people believe in ESP than in evolution, and encourages general readers to transcend the mental default settings and tribal loyalties that worked well for our ancestors back in the Pleistocene age. Drawing on research in evolutionary psychology, he advocates a world in which spirituality is viewed as a dangerous rather than an admirable quality, and suggests ways in which we can overcome our innate predisposition toward irrationality. Davis is the author of several books on behavioral science and popular culture, and about 100 scientific papers. There is no subject index.
