Why do humans adopt beliefs that defy reality? The Social Roots of Delusions moves beyond the traditional focus on the individual brain to explore the social origins of misbelief. Drawing on our nature as "ultra-social" animals, it argues that collective and clinical delusions are shaped by the unique ways humans interact, trust, and cooperate.
