Sommario/riassunto

Pagan and Native Faith movements have sprung up across Europe in recent decades, yet little has been published about them compared with their British and American counterparts. Though all such movements valorize human relationships with nature and embrace polytheistic cosmologies, practitioners' beliefs, practices, goals, and agendas are diverse. Often side by side are groups trying to reconstruct ancient religions motivated by ethnonationalism-especially in post-Soviet societies-and others attracted by imported traditions, such as Wicca, Druidry, Goddess Spirituality, and Core Shamanism.

Sommario/riassunto

This groundbreaking volume brings together leading researchers to explore the latest findings on the psychological and physiological factors that shape decision-making. It offers a uniquely multidisciplinary perspective, integrating insights from neuroscience, economics, public policy, and other fields to provide a comprehensive understanding of how we make choices in both personal and professional contexts. Designed for researchers, professionals, instructors, and students interested in decision science, this book delves into several key areas. It explores the cognitive biases and heuristics that influence our decisions. The book also examines the role of emotions and intuition in decision-making. Additionally, it investigates the neuroscience behind information processing and judgment. It also provides strategies we can use to make better decisions in real-world settings. The chapters, written by experts in the field, cover a wide range of topics ranging from the foundations of decision theory to the latest research on the neural bases of decision-making, providing readers with a rich understanding of the subject. Through its multidisciplinary approach and emphasis on practical applications, this volume offers readers valuable insights and tools for enhancing their own decision-making skills. Whether you are a researcher studying decision-making processes, a professional looking to make better judgments in important situations, or an instructor teaching decision science, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible resource that will deepen your understanding of this critical area of human behavior.
