Beliefism

In "Beliefism," Professor Paul Dolan explores the concept of discrimination against those who hold differing beliefs, a phenomenon he terms "Beliefism." Drawing on social science evidence, he illustrates how divisive stances can lead to poor decision-making and unnecessary conflict. Using the duck-rabbit illusion as a metaphor, Dolan emphasizes the importance of viewing issues from multiple perspectives to foster tolerance and understanding. The book also offers practical strategies, including a checklist called EMBRACE, to help individuals and organizations cultivate a more open-minded approach in their personal and professional lives.
