Acerca de esta escucha
Stuart Vyse, PhD, is the author of Believing in Magic: The Psychology of Superstition, which received the William James Book Award of the American Psychological Association. A celebrated psychologist and professor as well as a recognized author, he is the perfect guide for this audio series on the power of superstition.
This wide-ranging course reveals the method to our madness in everything from finances to Friday the 13th. An expert on irrational behavior, Prof. Vyse discusses what it means to be rational before delving into the many reasoning errors and psychological challenges that lead us astray.
In 15 lectures, you will learn to identify the logical fallacies and quirks of our psychology that tempt us to make unwise decisions. While the course is based in theory, it’s also teeming with practical advice.
You’ll examine several popular conspiracy theories before exploring the remarkable staying power of common “bad luck” superstitions: How did these superstitions come to be? Is it always bad to be irrational? At what point do our beliefs veer into the territory of wishful thinking or willful ignorance?
Packed with fun examples and everyday pointers, this course leaves you thinking long and hard about how you think. With Prof. Vyse’s guidance, you’ll learn to better understand your beliefs and make better decisions.
This course is part of the Learn25 collection.

Superstition: A Very Short Introduction explores the nature and history of superstition from antiquity to the present. For two millennia, superstition was a label derisively applied to foreign religions and unacceptable religious practices, and its primary purpose was used to separate groups and assert religious and social authority. After the Enlightenment, the superstition label was still used to define groups, but the new dividing line was between reason and unreason. Today, superstitious belief and behavior remain widespread, and highly educated people are not immune.

A Great Course to Improve Your Thinking
Well, I believe in some irrational things. I do not like black cats and I have bad luck with number 13; I know they are superstitions but I still feel worried about them anyway.
While listening to this course, I realized that I have done and believed in many of the irrational things Dr. Stuart discussed. I believed in some conspiracy theories and some superstitions. I did not use critical thinking when I should have done and I was wrong in some situations when I insisted that I am 100% right.
After listening to this course, I will start making decisions better. However, I am a simple man and my problems are as simple as me. This course is more than this. If you need help with your finances, this course is for you. The course includes chapters discussing only financial matters.
Dr. Stuart is a well-known psychologist explaining why people believe in superstitions and how to make financial decisions. When I searched about him, I knew for sure that this course will change me forever.
I will try my best to follow what I have learned in this course and I am sure my decision-making skills are already improved.
Thank you, Dr. Stuart, for this fascinating course!
