Misinformation affects us daily, from social media to politics and even personal relationships. Policing social media alone cannot solve the complex problem shaped by partisan politics and subjective interpretations of truth.

Misinformation taps into something innate in all of us, regardless of political affiliation. By understanding this psychology, we can mitigate its effects.

Por que será que acreditamos em informações erradas e, mais que isso, as buscamos e espalhamos? O que acontece quando uma pessoa aparentemente racional começa a cogitar, adotar e então defender crenças irracionais? Meu objetivo aqui é mostrar como qualquer um, sob determinadas circunstâncias, pode acabar caindo nessa armadilha. É mais fácil pensar no assunto como algo que acontece com outras pessoas. Mas este audiolivro também fala sobre cada um de nós. Sobre como formamos nossas certezas e as consolidamos, defendemos e difundimos.

אריאלי מראה שלא רק שאנחנו עושים טעויות מדהימות בפשטותן מדי יום, אלא שאנחנו גם חוזרים על אותו סוג של טעויות שוב ושוב. באופן שיטתי אנחנו משלמים יותר מדי, טועים בהערכותינו ודוחים דברים שעלינו לעשות. אנחנו מזלזלים בהשפעת הרגש על קבלת ההחלטות שלנו ומפריזים בהערכת ערכו של רכושנו. אולם ההתנהגויות השגויות הללו אינן אקראיות; הן דווקא שיטתיות וניתנות לצפייה, משום שאנחנו אכן לא רציונליים, ולא במקרה.
