About the Book: In Beliefism, behavioural scientist Professor Paul Dolan examines how our strong attachment to personal opinions can create division and prevent meaningful dialogue. Introducing the concept of “beliefism”—discrimination against those with different views—the book explores why people become trapped in opposing camps and how this affects relationships, workplaces, and society. Drawing on research from social sciences, Dolan reveals practical ways to approach disagreements with greater curiosity, honesty, and empathy. Thought-provoking and accessible, the book encourages readers to challenge their assumptions, understand differing perspectives, and build stronger connections in an increasingly polarized world.
