WHY DO WE TRUST THE CONFIDENT, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE WRONG?

We all know the type: the person who lectures us on a subject they know nothing about, or the planner who consistently ignores the reality of deadlines and budgets. In Beyond Doubt, behavioural biologist Vivek Nityananda takes an urgent, eye-opening look at the phenomenon of overconfidence.

Why does this "foolhardy" trait persist in human society? Could it be a hidden evolutionary superpower that fuels motivation, extends lives, and grants us the ability to influence others? From high-stakes boardrooms to the halls of government, Nityananda explores why we are wired to trust those who project absolute certainty—and the catastrophic disasters that can occur when that confidence is misplaced.

Blending research from psychology, political science, and evolutionary biology, Beyond Doubt is a compelling, entertaining, and essential read. It challenges us to look beyond the surface, recognize the dangers of false confidence, and cultivate the critical skills needed to navigate a world that is often led by the most confident, rather than the most competent.
