The Dance of Reason and Effect

According to Scott Slovic, there is “a new
kind of power to appreciate what’s happening in our heads” and that statement
couldn’t be more true. Our minds are a powerful thing, and being able to
understand them better can help us become more self aware and develop a
stronger ability to interpret the world around us. In Numbers and Nerves, Scott
Slovic and his father Paul Slovic write about psychological concepts and how
they can empower us. This week Scott Slovic talks to us about how Numbers and
Nerves
came to be and what he would like authors and readers to take away from
the book. Next week Paul Slovic will talk about the human mind, psychic numbing,
and desensitization.
