The brain and decision-making
From: Too Dumb for Democracy?
$3.00
Chapter One explores the roots of our bad political decisions; but the author argues that none of those reasons are excuses for us to throw up our arms and say, “Well, what can you do? We are who we are.” This chapter provides a tour of the brain, the emotional brain and the rational brain, the conscious brain and the unconscious brain, and our larger consciousness.
