Reviews
In recent years, there has been a lot written about religion, superstition, and faith, but there has never been a book like this. . . SuperSense is a joy to read--beautifully written, deeply clever and funny, replete with brilliant insights and observations., A compelling account of how beliefs in the supernatural world spring from the natural way our minds make sense of our experiences., Supersense is a terrifically fun read.But it is much more: though we may forever believe in ghosts, goblins and the beneficent deities, with a dose of skeptical scientific realism, a la Hood, there is hope that sanity will prevail. (Marc Hauser, Harvard College Professor, author of Moral Minds), Magical thinking is a defining feature of the human mind - the source of all that is sublime and absurd about our species. In this timely exploration of the psychology of irrational belief Bruce Hood pulls off the rare feat of being both authoritative and wonderfully entertaining. Brilliant., In an account chock full of real-world examples reinforced by experimental research, Hood's marvelous book is an important contribution to the psychological literature that is revealing the actuality of our very irrational human nature., In an account chock full of real-world examples reinforced by experimental research, Hood's marvelous book is an important contribution to the psychological literature that is revealing the actuality of our very irrational human nature. -- Science [A] fascinating, timely and important book. . . .

SuperSense is a joy to read--beautifully written, deeply clever and funny, replete with brilliant insights and observations. -- Paul Bloom Professor, Department of Psychology, Yale University Author of "Descartes' Baby: How the science of child development explains what makes us human" Dr. Hood, a world-class scholar in the field of cognitive science, explains the many weird and wonderful ways that we humans naturally view the world as ruled by supernatural phenomena. Bruce Hood's SuperSense is sensational. -- Susan A. Gelman Susan A. Gelman Susan A. Gelman, author of The Essential Child Read this beautifully written book, and you will lose some childhood innocence about how the world works. But, it will leave you wiser about yourself, and what it is to be human. -- Guy Claxton, author of Hare Brain, Tortoise Mind: How Intelligence Increases When You Think Less Magical thinking is a defining feature of the human mind - the source of all that is sublime and absurd about our species.

Wegner, Harvard Professor of Psychology, author of The Illusion of Conscious Will If we understood our own irrationality, and why so many people believe in ghosts, spirits, and invisible powers, then we might be able to improve the way we think. With quirkily fun examples and fascinating experiments Bruce Hood explains why we can't always escape our Supersense. -- Dr. Susan Blackmore, author of Conversations on Consciousness Supersense is a terrifically fun read.
