<p><strong>In an increasingly polarised world, it sometimes feels impossible to talk to someone you disagree with, let alone change their mind. </strong></p><p><strong>However, you could be just <em>one</em> conversation away from reshaping someone's world view - here's how...</strong></p><p>'In a time when too many minds seem closed, this is a masterful analysis of what it takes to open them.' <strong>ADAM GRANT, AUTHOR OF <em>THINK AGAIN </em></strong></p><p>Self-delusion expert and psychology nerd David McRaney sets out to discover not just what it takes to influence others, but <em>why</em> we believe in the first place. Along the way he meets a former Westboro Baptist Church member who was de-radicalised on Twitter, goes deep canvassing to see how quickly people will surrender their character-defining views, finds a former 9/11 Truther who turned his back on it all, and reveals how, within a few years, half a country can go from opposing the 'gay agenda' to happily attending same-sex weddings.</p><p>Distilling the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, <em>How Minds Change</em> reveals how beliefs take hold, not over hundreds of years, but in less than a generation, in less than a decade, and sometimes in an instant.</p><p>***</p><p>'Optimistic, illuminating and even inspiring.'<strong> <em>GUARDIAN</em></strong></p><p>'A tonic for those who might scratch their head at how others could be so nonsensical.' <strong><em>NEW SCIENTIST</em></strong></p><p>'<em>How Minds Change</em> brings us face to face with the radically weird science of how our thoughts, perceptions, and beliefs are actually formed, and how they can, for better or worse, be modified.'<strong> JORDAN ELLENBERG</strong></p>
