The science of wisdom

People are imperfect: we are often mistaken, amenable to manipulations from the media, blindly believe in our own innocence, are ready to obey criminal orders and justify bad deeds. The authors of the "science of wisdom", the famous American psychologists Thomas Gilovich and Lee Ross, are sure that life together in society can be established only focusing on real -existing ones - and by no means ideal people. An unusual look at them gives modern social psychology, and, according to the authors, it helps to solve many pressing problems. The reader learns how to use the discoveries of this science in order to settle social conflicts, fight with the poor performance of schoolchildren and students, cope with environmental problems and even make people get more pleasure from life. This book is for everyone who is interested in the psychology and social behavior of people. It will be useful to specialists: researchers, teachers and practices
