Why do we cross our fingers, avoid walking under ladders, or whisper “knock on wood” after saying something hopeful? Even in a modern world of science and logic, little rituals like these continue to shape our daily lives. We laugh at them, shrug them off, and sometimes do them without even thinking. But behind every quirky superstition lies something deeper: a glimpse into how the human brain works, how culture shapes belief, and how we cope with uncertainty.
In this fascinating and entertaining exploration, Ezra Thorne takes listeners on a journey into the hidden psychology behind our most ordinary superstitions. Drawing on history, science, and culture, the book reveals why these rituals have survived for centuries and why they still hold power over us today.
Inside, you’ll discover:
– Why our brains are hardwired to look for patterns—even when none exist.
– How rituals give us a sense of control in an unpredictable world.
– Why avoiding bad luck feels safer than chasing good fortune.
