Description

Robyn Dawes explores how self-contradictory beliefs undermine rational thought in this essential examination of everyday irrationality. Rather than simply cataloguing incorrect or poor decisions, Dawes defines irrationality as adherence to beliefs that are inherently self-defeating and logically contradictory-a pattern far more common than most recognise. Drawing on psychological research and real-world examples, including the misdiagnosis of child abuse through symptom observation rather than evidence-based assessment, this book reveals the systematic ways that pseudo-science, logical fallacies, and cognitive errors shape human behaviour. Ideal for readers interested in psychology, critical thinking, and understanding the roots of irrational belief systems, this Routledge publication combines scholarly rigour with accessible prose. Dawes, author of over 150 academic articles and multiple books including House of Cards and Rational Choice in an Uncertain World (winner of the William James Award), brings decades of expertise to the question of why intelligent people consistently fail to think rationally.
