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, this is an engrossing exploration of the secrets our brains keep from us, and how they are revealed.

An absorbing journey into the ways mass psychology and inner bias undermine our conceit of autonomy and rational initiative.-  The Philadelphia Inquirer
