Some time ago it became apparent that we apparently are in an epidemic of errors: Many of us waste endless hours on social media, overeat, shun physical exercise, and take a variety of drugs to combat behavior-induced ills. How is this possible?
That question prompted a search for results of brain science that explain this behavior. The book Subconscious Blunder: a 21st-Century Epidemic is the result of this effort. In 26 chapters it lays out the causes of this epidemic and how each of us can combat it.
