After The God Delusion
The Believing Brain by Michael Shermer
You loved Dawkins' takedown of faith—now get the science of why humans believe absurdities in the first place. Shermer exposes cognitive illusions hijacking reason across religion, politics, and conspiracies with the same unapologetic precision, extending the autopsy to every delusion your brain protects. It's rational empowerment weaponized against everyday irrationality, delivered with humor sharp enough to draw blood.
