Why do we so love to dig ourselves into the trenches of our own rightness? In <em>Why Everyone is Always Right<\/em> Ruben Mersch tries to answer these questions through the connection between cockroaches and ethics, the low-hanging trousers of hiphoppers and the mystery of the clean student kitchen. In doing so he makes eager reference to the latest insights of psychologists, anthropologists, biologists, philosophers and eighteenth-century preachers with a predilection for billiards. His conclusion is sobering: not our reason but our emotions hold sway over our thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Mersch adds, there are ways to counteract this. He presents these means to the reader captivatingly and with hilarious examples. <em>Why Everyone is Always Right<\/em> is the ideal book to give us more insight into the eccentricities of the human spirit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read our sample translation of\u00a0Why Everyone is Always Right &nbsp; About the book Whether it\u2019s a matter of the role of Islam in terrorist attacks, the safety of pesticides or the skin colour of St. Nicholas\u2019 little helpers: why do two camps so often emerge that are both convinced they have a monopoly on wisdom?&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1135,"featured_media":26788,"parent":17800,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-25848","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/foreignrights.debezigebij.nl\/wpg-api\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/foreignrights.debezigebij.nl\/wpg-api\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/foreignrights.debezigebij.nl\/wpg-api\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foreignrights.debezigebij.nl\/wpg-api\/wp\/v2\/users\/1135"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foreignrights.debezigebij.nl\/wpg-api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/foreignrights.debezigebij.nl\/wpg-api\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25848\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foreignrights.debezigebij.nl\/wpg-api\/wp\/v2\/pages\/17800"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foreignrights.debezigebij.nl\/wpg-api\/wp\/v2\/media\/26788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/foreignrights.debezigebij.nl\/wpg-api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
