The first book in the series - "Red Brains, Blue Brains: The Psychology of MAGA" - covered authoritarianism generally, but its focus was more on the moment – the season of Donald Trump and his MAGA movement, which still threatens to persist at this writing.

In addition, it will hopefully add to the body of research presented in the first book, with a hefty section devoted to studies that explicate aspects of ...

Are we "noble in reason"? Perfect, in God's image? Far from it, says New York University psychologist Gary Marcus.

You can fix this flaw, however. With the art of subliminal psychology, you can begin to systematically open all of those doors that were previously slammed shut in your face.

Psychologists and neuroscientists struggle with how best to interpret human motivation and decision making. The assumption is that below a mental "surface" of conscious awareness lies a deep and complex set of inner beliefs, values, and desires that govern our thoughts, ideas, and actions, and that to know this depth is to know ourselves. In this profoundly original book, behavioral scientist Nick Chater contends just the opposite: Rather than being the plaything of unconscious currents, the brain generates behaviors in the moment based entirely on our past experiences.
