Gordon-Smith shows how we can change the course of our own lives, and asks: what made someone change course? How should their reversals affect how we think about our own beliefs? And in an increasingly divided world, what do they teach us about how we might change the minds of others?\u003cbr\u003eInspiring, perceptive, and moving, \u003ci\u003eStop Being Reasonable\u003c\/i\u003e explores why resistance to evidence is often rooted in self-preservation and fear, why we feel shame in admitting we are wrong, and why who we believe is often more important than what we believe. This fascinating book will completely change the way you look at the power of persuasion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eleanor Gordon-Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541730445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541730441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PublicAffairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.70w x 1.00d","brand":"Eleanor Gordon-Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44047857942783,"sku":"9781541730441","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be753073-d168-4ba2-836e-30edcbacece0.jpg?v=1684992567","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stop-being-reasonable-eleanor-gordon-smith-9781541730441","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
