For the most part, it is a mystery why obeying instructions from an authority can convince people to kill other human beings, sometimes without hesitation and with incredible cruelty. Combining social and cognitive neuroscience with real-life accounts from genocide perpetrators, this book sheds light on the process through which obedience influences cognition and behavior. Emilie Caspar, a leading expert in the field, translates this neuroscientific approach into a clear, uncomplicated explanation, even for those with no background in psychology or neuroscience. By better understanding humanity''s propensity for direct orders to short-circuit our own independent decision-making, we can edge closer to effective prevention processes.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49083795439959,"sku":"9781009385435","price":28.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781009385435.jpg?v=1725550045","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/just-following-orders-9781009385435","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
