SUMMARY:Toronto: Science and Philosophy Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by CFI Canada member Christine Gagnon\, the goal is to provide a friendly\, free-thinking environment in which to discuss books that inspire rewarding conversation on subjects related to science and philosophy. \nSuggested donation is $5. \nTHIS MONTH’S BOOK SELECTION \nSplit-Second Persuasion:The Ancient Art and New Science of Changing Minds  \nby Kevin Dutton \n \nHow many times a day do you think someone tries to persuade you? Twenty? Thirty? Actually it’s more like 400. When you imagine a society based on coercion you start to see how important persuasion is; it literally keeps us alive. Now psychologist Kevin Dutton has identified a powerful strain of immediate\, instinctual persuasion\, an elixir of influence that can immediately help you disarm skeptics\, win arguments\, close the deal\, get the guy. Mapping the cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience of this incisive new influence\, he introduces us to the natural super-persuaders in our midst—Buddhist monks\, magicians\, advertisers\, con men\, hostage negotiators\, even psychopaths. He shows us which simple triggers can make someone trust you immediately; what hidden pathways in the brain lead us to believe something even when we know it’s not true; how group dynamics can make us more tolerant or deepen our extremism; and what we can learn from newborns about winning arguments. Dutton’s fascinating and provocative book will help anyone tap into the power of split-second persuasion. (goodreads.com) \n
