Why do some people become radicalized?Who is most susceptible to ideological thinking?Can we unchain our minds from toxic dogmas?Regardless of your political stance, this book will challenge you to reassess your convictions - and what they are doing to your brain.

She uses the powerful tools of neuroscience to show that our political beliefs are not transient thoughts in our minds - ideologies actually change our cells. And while some individuals are more susceptible to dogmatic thinking than others, all of us can strive to be more flexible. The Ideological Brain is essential reading in today's polarized and polarizing world.
