Description

Riveted: The Science of Why Jokes Make Us Laugh, Movies Make Us Cry, and Religion Makes Us Feel One with the Universe by Jim Davies

This book explores the evolutionary underpinnings of why we find things compelling, from art to religion and from sports to superstition. It reveals how our brains make decisions for us, often unconsciously.

Discover how patterns, pleasure, and survival information influence our preferences, from what we watch on TV to who we date. A fascinating and accessible exploration of the science behind why certain things capture our attention.
