Описание: A thought-provoking exploration of how people really change their minds, and how persuasion is possible.
We like to believe that people make up their minds when they hear a strong, persuasive argument backed up by facts- that if people hear both sides and deliberate rationally, they will change their views to reflect the evidence. Yet the current social and political climate has disproven this conventional wisdom. How, then, are we supposed to reason with whom people we don't see eye-to-eye? Combining contemporary philosophy and psychology with real-world stories, But What If You're Wrong? explores the art of persuasion. Author Eleanor Gordon-Smith shows why resistance to evidence often comes from a place of sheer self-preservation and fear; why we feel shame in admitting we are wrong; and why who to believe is as important, if not more, than what to believe. Throughout, she offers practical tools for changing people's minds, as well as being more receptive to changing our own minds. This fascinating book will completely change the way you look at the power of persuasion.

Описание: CAN THE FIRST LADY SAVE AN INNOCENT WOMAN'S LIFE?Eleanor Roosevelt was a tremendous advocate for victims of misjustice, but she may have met her match in Jim Crow Georgia. A black woman sits on death row awaiting her date with the electric chair for a crime she didn't commit. Even with the help of the President's secretary, Marguerite LeHand, and FBI agent Corey Wainwright, the First Lady battles racial prejudice and the ticking of the executioner's clock. Devious Hollywood reporter Joan Roswell and glamorous starlet Ida Lupino round out the cast in this fast-paced story, set in Warm Springs, Georgia, home of FDR's beloved Little White House.Kelly Durham, author of eight thrillers set against the backdrops of World War II and the Golden Age of Hollywood, and Kathryn Smith, author of Missy LeHand's biography THE GATEKEEPER, deliver again in the third Missy LeHand Mystery."The series-defining Hollywood-Washington connection is now established. Add in Missy's assistant Grace Tully and handsome FBI agent Corey Wainwright and the whole gang is back together, taking readers on another vivid and engaging visit to the 1930s, this time focusing on the Jim Crow South. Gone with the Wind author Margaret Mitchell provides the episode's celebrity cameo appearance...Despite the seriousness in theme, the breezy prose is filled with humorous interludes, and the portrait of an indefatigable and earnest Mrs. Roosevelt is delightful. An enjoyable ensemble cast skillfully beefs up an uncomplicated crime plot; a quick, fun read with unsavory secondary characters and salient historical tidbits." -- Kirkus Reviews
