The author argues that our beliefs in the supernatural typically originate in anxiety about the future and are sustained by an entrenched belief in the duality of mind and body. More than just a debunking of supernaturalism, \u003cb\u003eLeaps \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eof Faith\u003c\/b\u003e explores the psychology of the all-too-human tendency for wishful thinking. It explains why we hark after a fantasy world of magic and miracles - even when, arguably, we already live in the only world that offers real hope of fulfillment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Humphrey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0387987207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780387987200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copernicus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 5.42w x 0.78d","brand":"Nicholas Humphrey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119656759551,"sku":"9780387987200","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f632303f-5a54-45cd-b525-f2eb629d5bbe.jpg?v=1687410314","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leaps-of-faith-nicholas-humphrey-9780387987200","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
