Summary
Details

Why does it feel like the world is splitting at the seams?

Every day, we're hit with headlines, slogans, and viral outrage-each one demanding a reaction, a side, a certainty. We like to think our beliefs are shaped by logic. But more often, it's emotion that leads the way. What feels true, what fits the mood of our group, tends to win out over what's actually true. That's the tension at the heart of this book: the divide between reason and resonance.

This isn't just another critique of polarization or misinformation. It's an attempt to map the forces underneath-why some ideas move and others vanish, why trust in institutions crumbles, and why emotional clarity so often outpaces intellectual precision. From ancient myths to modern algorithms, it traces how belief spreads, how influence works, and what happens when our minds-built for small tribes-are thrown into a global swarm.

But more than anything, Reason or Resonance is about what we can do with that awareness. Not in a prescriptive, life-hack kind of way-but as a set of tools for seeing more clearly. It offers a way to slow down the reflexes, examine the wiring, and choose beliefs that can actually hold up under pressure.

If you've ever felt like the loudest voices are winning while the most thoughtful ones stay quiet, this book is for you. It won't tell you what to think. But it might help you rebuild how you think-so you can move through the noise without being shaped by it.
