Such beliefs are unfortunately common. This book demonstrates how such irrationality results from ignoring obvious comparisons, while instead falling into associational and story-based thinking. Strong emotion--or even insanity--is one reason for making automatic associations without comparison, but as the author demonstrates, a lot of everyday judgment, unsupported professional claims, and even social policy is based on the same kind of \"everyday\" irrationality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46897584275607,"sku":"9780813340265","price":4735.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780813340265.webp?v=1770363394","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/everyday-irrationality-how-pseudo-scientists-lunatics-and-the-rest-of-us-systematically-fail-to-think-rationally-9780813340265","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
