Zusammenfassung:"The world can certainly be a dangerous place. But have we lost the knack of judging risk? Are we letting paranoia get the better of us? In this thought-provoking book, based on the most up-to-date scientific research, Daniel and Jason Freeman highlight just how prominent paranoia is today. One in four of us have regular paranoid thoughts. The authors analyse the causes of paranoia, identifying the social and cultural factors that seem to be skewing the way we think and feel about the world around us. And they explain why paranoia may be on the rise and, crucially, what we can do to tackle it."--BOOK JACKET.
