About this content
Why Everyone (Else) Is a Hypocrite (2010) pushes us to challenge our assumptions about the human brain. These abstracts explain the modular structure of our mind which, rather than creating a coherent conscious self, can lead to confusion and conflict as evolutionary traits clash with the challenges of the modern world.
