Explore the fascinating phenomenon of irrational beliefs with Allan Mazur’s ‘Implausible Beliefs: In the Bible, Astrology, and UFOs’. This insightful book from The Bookish Owl examines why people cling to ideas contradicted by science and logic. Mazur provides clear criteria for assessing implausibility, analyzes the social and political impact of such beliefs in the US, and offers a statistical look at who holds them. Through a comparative lens, he scrutinizes the Bible, astrology, and UFO sightings, revealing inconsistencies and the power of societal influence. Discover how socialization, personal relationships, personality, and life circumstances contribute to accepting beliefs despite evidence. A provocative and essential read for anyone interested in sociology, psychology, religion, and American studies.
