THE 7 LAWS OF MAGICAL

THINKINGHow Irrationality Makes Us Happy,Healthy, and Sane

Matthew Hutson

Why do rational people buy notions that seem

utterly incredulous? (And that includes you)

Everyone even the most jaded and sceptical believes

in magic, in the orm o jinxes, the power o similarities,

luck, mind over matter, heavenly helpers, and destiny.

Drawing on neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and socialpsychology, Matthew Hutson takes us on a ascinating tour

o magical thinking in everyday lie, rom the British man

who was convicted by Ouija board, to the healing power o

John Lennons piano, to the superstitions that rule the ships

that troll the North Atlantics deadliest shing grounds.

Such irrationality, Hutson argues, is key to our happiness,

health, creativity, social intelligence, and, yes, good

ortune. You just need to know when to let go o cynicism,

and embrace your magical thinking instead.

MATTHEW HUTSON is ormer News Editor o

Psychology Todaymagazine, whose popular science

writing has appeared in Wired,Discover, and theNewYork Times Magazine. He lives in New York City, and

this is his rst book.

This book about thinking is

magical. Its the perect blend o

We nd occult meaning in the world all around us, every day.

Do you own any sentimental objects say a wedding ring or

family heirloom or autographed football shirt? Objects youd

value more than an identical duplicate? Thats magical thinking.

Do you feel that what goes around comes around, through

some universal principle of fairness? Thats magical thinking.

Do you shout at your laptop when it erases your les?

Magical thinking. Do you hope to leave a legacy after you die?

Magical thinking. Do you believe that certain events were

meant to happen? Magical thinking. Or that you can lift yourarm through the power of your conscious thoughts? Magical

thinking, even that.

These all derive from our ongoing irtation with

supernaturalism, a relationship we depend on for our

REAL BRITANNIAA Partial, Proud History o the Glory andthe Spin

From the Magna Carta to the Falklands, here are

the 10 years that made Britain, or better and or

1215: The Magna Carta. 1415: Henry V. 1588: Deeat o the

Dunkirk. 1945: Creation o the welare state. 1982: TheFalklands. Britains history is proud yet conicted, tied to

moments o military triumph (sometimes accidental) and

acts o democratic ideal (despite the monarchy).

Was the longbow behind the victory at Agincourt, or was

it just that the English are better in mud? Did Queen

Elizabeth I know the Armada had capitulated when she

drated one o historys most inspiring speeches? Where

did Wellington meet his Waterloo? Was the Falklands proo

o Mrs Thatchers steel or a grasping, imperial olly? Veteran

political reporter Colin Brown a true expert in spin

travels to the places where history was made to unearth

the real story o what makes Britain great.

COLIN BROWN is the author o the acclaimed history

Whitehall: The Street That Shaped a Nation. Formerly

deputy political editor o the Independent, politicaleditor o the Sunday Telegraph and Independent

The longbow was a fearsome weapon when used against massed

ranks, but it could not penetrate the steel plate of French armour.

At Azincourt, the symbol of the longbow is everywhere, but I

discovered a very different story behind Henry Vs victory buried in

the archives of the Royal Armouries.

The night before, the eld had been churned into a quagmire by

the French cavalry, who had decided to exercise their horses there.

According to Andrew Palmer, Professor of Engineering at Cambridge,

Azincourts soil is particularly prone to creating suction when wet.

As the French marched forward on the day of battle, they were

sucked down, falling over each other. By the time they reached theEnglish, they were exhausted by the weight of their steel armour

wrestling with the mud. The English abandoned their longbows and

slit their foes throats with bollock daggers or smashed their heads

with hammers. The elegant archers were, in reality, butchers.

Aarathi Prasad

A rising star o pop science investigates whether

virgin birth might be possible in the near uture

Most cultures tell the tale o a maiden who gives birth

untouched by a man, and in the wild there are plenty

o creatures turkeys, komodo dragons, sharks, and

the Jesus Christ lizard (which walks on water, too) that take various approaches to making babies without

having sex. Soon, humans will have that option, too.

In Like a Virgin, biologist Aarathi Prasad examines

inconceivable ideas about conception, rom Paracelsuss

recipe or creating a child (bury semen in manure or 40

days) to the search or a true virgin mother, spurred by

the geneticist Helen Spurway, in the 1950s tabloids. She

then takes us to maverick labs that are inventing sex-

less reproduction, rom egg-ertilizing computer chips

to articial wombs or men. Prasad delivers a highly

provocative, entertaining look at the mysteries o sex

and evolutionary biology past, present, and uture.

AARATHI PRASAD is a biologist and science writer.

NEW 23LITERATURE/MEDICAL HISTORY

ORWELLS COUGHDiagnosing the Last Gasps and MedicalMaladies o the Great Writers

John Ross

The Bard meets Stifin this marvellous medical

investigation o literary legends

Did Shakespeares doctors addle his brain with mercury

vapour, leading to his premature retirement? WasJane Eyre

inspired by the plagued school that eventually claimed the

entire Bront clan? Did writing 1984 kill George Orwell?

Many o our most beloved scribes struggled to conquer not

just writers block but a bevy o maladies, which shaped

the characters and stories they crated. John Ross opens his

surgery to consult with the likes o Milton, Swit, Melville,

and Joyce, to debunk myths and probe muses, both literary

and medical. Ross peppers his tales with vivid vignettes o

medical practice through the centuries, rom Shakespeares

cloaked visits to Southwark to cure his unsavoury rashes to

the arsenic-and-horse-serum jabs given or Yeatss evers.

With novelistic air and deep expertise, Ross reveals a

wholly new angle on the writers lie.

JOHN ROSS is Assistant Proessor o Medicine at

Harvard Medical School and a hospitalist at Brigham

and Womens Hospital in Boston. His original inves-tigation o Shakespeares battles with syphilis drew

international media attention, including coverage on

The Daily Show.

everyday lives? Featuring the most up-to-date assessment o the EU, its

inner workings, external relations, and likely uture development, this is

the perect introduction or anyone seeking to better understand the Euro-

pean project and Britains place within it.
