American Nazis march openly in the streets. Flat Earth theory is back. Norman shows that these phenomena share a root cause: We live in a time when the so-called "right to your opinion" is thought to trump our responsibilities. Minds and cultures really do have immune systems, and they really can break down. Fortunately, they can also be built up. Norman calls for a rigorous science of mental immune health, and explains how it could revolutionize our capacity for critical thinking. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 302 No Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 302 No Checked In Add Copy to MyList
