The Cost of Conviction
How Our Deepest Values Lead Us Astray
Book •
In 'The Cost of Conviction', Steven Sloman explores how our deepest values can lead us astray in decision-making.
He contrasts consequentialism, where decisions are based on outcomes, with sacred values, where decisions are based on principles.
Sloman argues that over-reliance on sacred values can result in oversimplification and social polarization.
The book draws from historical and current examples to illustrate the impact of these decision-making strategies.
By understanding the psychology of decision-making, the author suggests we can better navigate complex issues.
