Im Dschungel der Gewissheiten

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Was Ihr Gehirn glücklich macht ... und warum Sie genau das Gegenteil tun sollten

Zusammenfassung

Nur allzu leicht erliegt unser Gehirn dem süßen Reiz vermeintlicher Gewissheiten. Vorgefasste Ansichten, tradierte Vorurteile oder vermeintlich ähnlich gelagerte Erfahrungen lenken uns schnell auf die falsche Fährte – und wir sehen plötzlich nicht mehr, was vor unseren Augen liegt.

„Zweifel ist kein angenehmer Zustand, Gewissheit aber ein absurder.“

Voltaire in einem Brief an Friedrich den Großen
