Agustin Fuentes is the renowned Notre Dame anthropologist/professor and an active public scientist and lecturer, and a well-known blogger for outlets including Psychology Today and The Huffington Post, as well as a writer and explorer for National Geographic.
In WHY WE BELIEVE, Fuentes argues that the capacity to be religious is actually a small part of a larger and deeper human capacity to believe. Why believe in religion, economies, love? A fascinating intervention into some of the most common misconceptions about human nature, this book employs evolutionary, neurobiological, and anthropological evidence to argue that belief—the ability to commit passionately and wholeheartedly to an idea—is central to the human way of being in the world.
