In March, I suggest we take a look at psychologist Richard Wiseman’s latest: “Paranormality: Why We See What Isn’t There“. Wiseman takes a novel approach, encouraging the reader to perform activities that allow her to experience the phenomena considered by many to be paranormal, and using these experiences to give us insight into what’s really going on in our brains.
In addition, I will consult portions of Michael Sherman’s newest book: “The Believing Brain: From Ghosts and Gods to Politics and Conspiracies–How We Construct and Reinforce them as Truths“, in an attempt to form a deeper understanding of why so many people believe in the unbelievable.
Read one book, both, or none. In any case, please join us on Sunday, March 18th at 6pm at Cafe Ventana in the big conference room in the Annex for an imaginative discussion.
