"In this superb book, Sara E. Gorman (project manager, Johnson & Johnson Global Public Health) and psychiatrist Jack M. Gorman (CEO & chief scientific officer, Franklin Behavioral Health; The Essential Guide to Psychiatric Drugs) collaborate to explain why many people deny scientifically established facts, even in the face of compelling evidence...Perfect for fans of the subject and Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow."--Library Journal, Starred Review"Perhaps a new book, Denying to the Grave by public health specialists (a father and daughter team) Sara Gorman and Jack Gorman, can help us understand why facts and statistics fall on deaf ears time and time again...The book is thoughtful, exploring the psychology, neurobiology and evolutionary roots that underpin some of our decision-making, which can make adaptive behaviour maladaptive."--New Scientist"In [Denying to the Grave], the Gormans explain not just how people fall for the false claims of politicians, but also how intelligent people wind up in cults or why a nation wracked by gun violence continues to reject gun-control measure... [The Gormans are] equal opportunity debunkers, taking on GMO fear-mongering and anti-vaxers along with the National Rifle Association."--The Atlantic"Why do so many cling to beliefs that run counter to evidence? Sara Gorman, a public health expert, and Jack Gorman, a psychiatrist, investigate the psychological factors that lead to such self-defeating denial of facts and conclude that normal, evolutionarily adaptive tendencies act against us."--Scientific American"From Anti-vaxers to those who refute that HIV causes AIDS, scientific illiteracy, medical mistrust, and conspiracy thinking seriously threaten public health. In Denying to the Grave Sara and Jack Gorman expose the psychological underpinnings of denialism. Shining a light on those who propagate destructive denialism movements is our best weapon against their effects. The Gormans have done a great service with this well-reasoned and evidence-based book. There is no denying that."--Seth Kalichman, PhD, Professor of Psychological Sciences , University of Connecticut"Science brought us out of the Age of Darkness and into the Age of Enlightenment. Unfortunately, a powerful anti-science sentiment in America now threatens to send us back to a darker time-a time when we reject vaccines, deny climate change, and condemn genetic engineering technologies that have and will continue to save our lives. Denying to the Grave describes the forces that work against science and how science education alone won't solve the problem. Using a series of fascinating examples, the Gormans explain why it is so hard to convince people where the real risks lay."--Paul A. Offit, MD, Author of Bad Faith: When Religious Beliefs Undermine Modern Medicine"A fascinating, readable and very well informed analysis of why our brains trick us into resisting scientific evidence, even at the cost of our lives. An important and engaging book that should be on everyone's bookshelf."--Nicoli Nattrass, D.Phil Oxon, Professor, Centre for Social Science Research, University of Cape Town"A thought-provoking and entertaining examination of science denial focusing on the reasons that some of us are prone to developing opinions that are not supported by science and then hold on to these opinions in the face of evidence to the contrary. The authors' use of research to back up their arguments provides rigor while their use of anecdotes and stories makes the text more approachable. Ultimately, the marriage of these concepts, along with the lively narrative throughout the text, leads to an intriguing and timely resource during this time of political upheaval and the ensuing challenges in civil discourse.

Introduction Chapter One: Risk Perception Chapter Two: Avoidance of Complexity Chapter Three: Causality and Filling the Ignorance Gap Chapter Four: Confirmation Bias Chapter Five: Charismatic Leaders Chapter Six: Conspiracy Theories Conclusion
Synopsis
In Denying to the Grave, authors Sara and Jack Gorman explore the psychology of health science denial. Using several examples of such denial as test cases, they propose seven key principles that may lead individuals to reject "accepted" health-related wisdom., Why do some parents refuse to vaccinate their children? Why do some people keep guns at home, despite scientific evidence of risk to their family members? And why do people use antibiotics for illnesses they cannot possibly alleviate? When it comes to health, many people insist that science is wrong, that the evidence is incomplete, and that unidentified hazards lurk everywhere. In Denying to the Grave, Gorman and Gorman, a father-daughter team, explore the psychology of health science denial. Using several examples of such denial as test cases, they propose six key principles that may lead individuals to reject "accepted" health-related wisdom: the charismatic leader; fear of complexity; confirmation bias and the internet; fear of corporate and government conspiracies; causality and filling the ignorance gap; and the nature of risk prediction. The authors argue that the health sciences are especially vulnerable to our innate resistance to integrate new concepts with pre-existing beliefs. This psychological difficulty of incorporating new information is on the cutting edge of neuroscience research, as scientists continue to identify brain responses to new information that reveal deep-seated, innate discomfort with changing our minds. Denying to the Grave explores risk theory and how people make decisions about what is best for them and their loved ones, in an effort to better understand how people think when faced with significant health decisions. This book points the way to a new and important understanding of how science should be conveyed to the public in order to save lives with existing knowledge and technology., Why do some parents refuse to vaccinate their children?
