Warning! This copy of the book may contain minor defects (crumpled corners, small scratches). People are imperfect: we often make mistakes, are susceptible to media manipulation, blindly believe in our own rightness, are willing to obey unjust orders, and justify bad behavior. The authors of The Science of Wisdom, renowned American psychologists Thomas Gilovich and Lee Ross, believe that social coexistence can only be improved by focusing on real—and by no means perfect—people. Modern social psychology offers an unusual perspective on these people, and, according to the authors, it helps solve many pressing problems. The reader will learn how to use the discoveries of this science to resolve social conflicts, combat academic failure among schoolchildren and students, cope with environmental problems, and even help people get more enjoyment out of life.
