Bezwingen Sie den Negativitätseffekt! Warum brauchen wir durchschnittlich vier gute Erlebnisse, um ein schlechtes emotional auszugleichen? Warum erschüttert uns ein einziges Wort der Kritik, selbst wenn es mit heftigem Lob daherkommt? Der renommierte Sozialpsychologe Roy F. Baumeister entdeckte den Negativitätseffekt als grundlegenden Aspekt unseres Wesens. Mit ihm lässt sich erklären, warum Länder in katastrophale Kriege geraten, warum Paare sich scheiden lassen, warum Menschen Vorstellungsgespräche vermasseln. Doch wir können lernen, unsere Negativitätsvorurteile zu erkennen, zu steuern und sogar zu überwinden. Die Macht des Schlechten kann perfekt für Gutes genutzt werden. »Dieser faszinierende Blick eines unserer kreativsten Psychologen und Wissenschaftsautoren auf unsere Negativitätsvorurteile kann Ihr Verständnis der menschlichen Natur erhellen, Ihre Weltanschauung ausbalancieren und Sie aufheitern.« Steven Pinker

Why does a bad impression last longer than a good one? Why does losing money affect us more than gaining it? What makes phobias so hard to shake? The answer is the negativity bias - or in other words, the power of bad. As John Tierney and Roy F. Baumeister show, we are wired to react to bad over good. It makes sense in evolutionary terms, but in our modern world the lure of bad is, well, bad. It governs people's moods, drives marketing and dominates our news. It can explain everything from why wars start or couples divorce, to why we mess up job interviews or feud with neighbours. But there is good news. By using smart strategies from new science, we can train our brains to get better at spotting our own negativity bias, fighting back with our rational minds to manage the bad in our lives - and even using its power for positive results. Breaking bad's hold over us can help our own lives, at work and in our relationships. Properly understood, bad can be a good thing.

This book based on evidence from a wide range of disciplines, offers a new and far more balanced view of gender relations. Author Roy Baumeister offers provocative answers to many questions about the current state of manhood in America.

Do people have free will, or is this belief an illusion? If free will exists, what form does it take, and how does it influence behavior? Can it be studied scientifically? These questions are central to the exploration in this book. While individuals often act as if they possess free will, feeling in control of their decisions and treating others similarly, psychological science typically overlooks this concept. The book examines whether psychology can accommodate free will and how leading psychologists view its role in behavior. Recent research and theoretical work on free will are discussed, alongside the philosophical dilemmas it presents, such as the relationship between determinism and free will and the significance of consciousness. Additionally, it features insights from prominent philosophers on how psychology can inform longstanding philosophical debates about this uniquely human belief. This collection of essays is aimed at social scientists and thoughtful readers interested in the complexities of free will and its implications for human behavior.
