A thought-provoking exploration of how people really change their minds, and how persuasion is possible. In Stop Being Reasonable, Eleanor Gordon-Smith weaves a narrative that illustrates the limits of human reason. Here, she tells the stories of people who have radically altered their beliefs - from the woman who had to reckon with her husband's terrible secret to the man who finally left the cult he had been raised in since birth. Gordon-Smith shows how we can change the course of our own lives, and asks: What made someone change course?

We get it, you hate Trump. Feelings over facts.

Dopamine book for the cult of academia, feminism, and progressives. If you are not in that cult....This book may be nails on a chalkboard. So many places in this book, where the author, who complains about this issue, actually only researches facts that support her preconceived ideas. For example; the author conducts a "cat calling" experiment, carried out by walking a night club strip of a major city. Zack and Mike, two males that are "guilty" of the egregious offense of cat calling the author. Whether, the author realizes it or not her subconscious (maybe conscious) crush on Zack bleeds through. Mike and Zack agree to be interviewed, She tells them the error of their ways, but in the end exchanges numbers with Zack for scientific followup, of course.... (And the author said cat calling doesn't work?) Zack and the author end up meeting alone, but this time the author is prepared with facts and stats. She really lets Zack have it with the stat, 70 percent of woman do NOT like being cat called. Flip side of that statistic, though never touched on, is that 30 percent of woman do. Maybe, just maybe those woman go to night clubs dressed to the nines. Flawed experiment... The author also spends way too much time, I am not sure if it is the feminist in her or what, but she includes a story about a girl who's mother lost custody of her over accusations of abuse. She sides with a fellow academic, (feminist) who tries SPOILER ALERT without success to clear the mom's name. One HUGE issue here. The author dedicates only three or four sentences to the fact that the mother actually got caught doing exactly what Loftus was attempting to blame the MAN, the father for, creating false accusations of abuse. Loftus wanted desperately to show the girl was manipulated by her father, into having false memories. Munchhausen Syndrome is real, if your feminist beliefs cloud your ability to see what is in front of you, especially with indisputable evidence, no wonder the point of this book is to give equal, if not more weight to feelings, over facts. The author's obsession with Trump is at an unhealthy level. I hope she gets the helps she needs.
