Why do companies rate applicants based on their initial impression, even when they know it's incorrect and often misleading?
Why do individuals smoke, drink excessively, and consume foods that are harmful to their health?
How can ordinarily educated individuals come to believe in false news?
Let's go back in time to Victorian England to find out.
Corsets were required for ladies in Victorian times, according to a well-known anecdote. It's debatable how prevalent corsets were, but they compressed a woman's body like a snake, making her waist seem thinner.
Corsets were effective but so tight that they caused internal harm to women. They also induced atrophy in a woman's lower back.
Corsets were so constricting that ladies often collapsed while wearing them!
But here's the twist...
It was thought that fainting while wearing a corset was a good thing! It was seen as a sign of excellent breeding.
That is why we decided to write this book. You'll find the following inside:
The myths that lead to Aztec human sacrifice and how they are still prevalent today • Rats transmit illness and plague, yet a "Temple of Rats" was built in India due to this mistaken notion. How to make oneself "stupid" since teaching brighter people is HARDER! • Why you should be wary of anybody who quotes an authoritative figure
...And so much more!
