How to Choose Your Beliefs
The book starts with the question of where self-belief comes from. The answer is evidence, derived from other beliefs. An example is given where the author talks about making someone believe they are Allah or Jesus Christ by holding their mother hostage. The point is made that we can choose faith but not belief. This raises the question of where beliefs come from.
