cases have a powerful impact and are a more effective tool for teaching
psychology because the incongruity must be resolved and embedded in a
causal story. That is why this book contains questions that are addressed
personally to the reader. You are more likely to learn something by finding
surprises in your own behavior than by hearing surprising facts about
people in general.

“We can’t assume that they will really learn anything from mere

statistics. Let’s show them one or two representative individual

cases to influence their System 1.”

“No need to worry about this statistical information being ignored.

On the contrary, it will immediately be used to feed a stereotype.”
