Psychologists have been studying how we make political choices for years, and the truth is, we’re a lot less rational than we think we are; we vote for reasons we’re not even consciously aware of. In this absorbing book, Lee de-Wit delves into the science to show what kind of political animals we really are, looking at: personality type and political persuasion; tribalism and the appeal of nationalism; confirmation bias and fake news; emotional responses and irrational decision-making; fairness and cheating; altruism and self-interest; and race and group identity.
