Download Don't Even Think About It: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Ignore Climate Change AudioBook Free
The majority of us recognize that environment change is real, and yet we do nothing to stop it. What is this psychological system which allows us to know something holds true but become if it is not? George Marshall's seek out the answers brings him face to face with Nobel Prize-winning psychologists and the activists of the Texas Tea Get together; the world's leading environment scientists and people who denounce them; liberal environmentalists and conservative evangelicals. What he found out is our ideals, assumptions, and prejudices may take on lives of their own, attaining authority as they are distributed, dividing people in their wake. With participating stories and attracting on many years of his own research, Marshall argues that the answers do not lie in the things that make us different and drive us apart, but rather in what most of us share: how our human being brains are wired - our evolutionary roots, our perceptions of threats, our cognitive blind locations, our love of storytelling, our concern with death, and our deepest intuition to defend our family and tribe. After we know very well what excites, threatens, and motivates us, we can rethink and reimagine environment change, for it is no impossible problem. Rather, it is one we can halt if we makes it our common purpose and common floor. Silence and inaction will be the most persuasive of narratives, so we need to change the history. In the long run, Don't Even Think About It is both about environment change and about the attributes that make us human and how we can grow even as deal with the greatest challenge we have ever faced.
