20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the
original book.Original book introduction: The hidden brain
is the voice in our ear when we make the most important
decisions in our lives-but we're never aware of it. The
hidden brain decides whom we fall in love with and whom we
hate. It tells us to vote for the white candidate and
convict the dark-skinned defendant, to hire the thin woman
but pay her less than the man doing the same job. It can
direct us to safety when disaster strikes and move us to
extraordinary acts of altruism. But it can also be
manipulated to turn an ordinary person into a suicide
terrorist or a group of bystanders into a mob. In a series
of compulsively readable narratives, Shankar Vedantam
journeys through the latest discoveries in neuroscience,
psychology, and behavioral science to uncover the darkest
corner of our minds and its decisive impact on the choices
we make as individuals and as a society. Filled with
fascinating characters, dramatic storytelling, and cutting
-edge science, this is an engrossing exploration of the
secrets our brains keep from us-and how they are
revealed."--|cProvided by Freading.
