\'Fascinating, important and entirely convincing.\' PHILIP PULLMAN\'Kevin Dutton is a Special Forces style psychologist.
Through persistent binary thinking, our capacity for rational and nuanced thought - seeing the grey, rather than merely Black and White - begins to erode.
In this urgent and timely book, Dr Kevin Dutton tells us what we can do about it..
Trump.
Brexit.
ISIS.
The Alt Right.
Dangerous possibilities arise.
Rather than challenging our own Thinking about the world, we endeavour only to confirm what we believe.
The result is that the difference between polarised beliefs becomes ever greater.
Migrant or refugee? Muslim or Christian? Them or us? Rather than reaching out to those who are different, we bond with those who are similar to ourselves.
It\'s how our brains work.
We are hardwired to discriminate and frame everything in binary Black and white.
Amidst a rising tide of religious intolerance and political extremism, it argues that by understanding the evolutionary programming of our binary brains we can overcome it, make sense of the world and in future make much subtler - and far better - decisions.
It is human instinct to sort and categorise.
