New technologies, from sharing-economy apps to the blockchain, offer routes around some of the trust deficits that stand in the way of growth. If you take the time to pay attention to, and make explicit, the basic assumptions and mental models that people are applying in the process of interpreting a given situation, such conflicts can more easily be resolved. While the doctor portrays his journey towards Christianity and thus uses many verses from the Bible to make his arguments, people belonging to different religions can also benefit from his insights.

I appreciated the review of the book's concepts, but felt like this quiz went a little far in predicting possible crises in the serious moments of life (and this comes from someone sympathetic to his premise). Which observable facts and experiences am I basing my reasoning on, and are there other facts to consider? Physicist Michael Guillen presents a thesis that “Believing is seeing; seeing is reacting” in his latest book. Michael Guillen, a best-selling author, Emmy award–winning journalist and former physics instructor at Harvard, used to be an Atheist—until science changed his mind.The author delves into the parallels between belief in science and belief in Christianity, showing how both belief systems provide similar answers to certain fundamental questions. Importantly, although image quantification has increasingly become an expectation, ostensibly to confront subtle biases, it is not a guarantee against bias and cannot alone shield an experiment from cognitive distortions.

It had to become big enough to include belief not only in what I could see and prove but in what I could not see or prove — such as Dark Matter. But this logic was the very thing that compelled me into understanding what a relationship with God was like and why I eventually became a follower of Christ. This is author's own experience with faith and science so often it reads a bit memoir-ish, But overall, it's a collection of insights that he considers valuable. For so long, people have argued that seeing leads to believing, but in using more scientific evidence than I could fully comprehend in an audiobook, Guillen argues that what we believe (our worldview) greatly affects how we see the world.I also learned that galaxies spin much faster than they should, in apparent violation of the Virial Theorem. Even if Sontag is right, namely, that Fenton moved the cannonballs to telegraph the horrors of war, what’s so bad about that? The subtitle of the book describes this work perfectly: “ A Physicist Explains How Science Shattered His Atheism and Revealed the Necessity of Faith.
