"An invaluable resource for anyone who aspires to think clearly" (The Guardian) from the New York Times bestselling author of Superforecasting and Future BabbleFrom terror attacks to collapsing economies, from painkiller epidemics to mass gun violence and poisonous toys from China, our list of fears seems to be exploding. Yet we are the safest and healthiest humans in history. Why are we so worried? The Science of Fear is an introduction to the new brain science of risk, dissecting the fears that misguide and manipulate us every day. Award-winning journalist Dan Gardner demonstrates how irrational fear springs from the ways humans miscalculate risks based on our hunter-gatherer brains. With the exclusive cooperation of risk-science pioneer Paul Slovic and other leading experts, Gardner reveals how our "gut" reactions lead us astray. Understanding our irrational fears frees us from political and corporate manipulation, and makes our choices better. Ultimately, The Science of Fear will make you brave. "Excellent... Analyzes everything from the media's predilection for irrational scare stories to the cynical use of fear by politicians... A] cheery corrective to modern paranoia."--The Economist "An entertaining, often jolting account of why trivial risks terrify us, even as we engage in wildly dangerous activities with hardly a qualm."--Kirkus (starred review) "Elegantly weaves academic research and everyday experience, exposing the secrets of emotion and reason, and the essential roles they play on our lives. An excellent book."--Dan Ariely, New York Times bestselling author of Predictably Irrational

Did not work for my skin
I ordered this for a more natural at home remedy for my eczema but it did not work. Even after seeing a dermatologist and healing my eczema using this product did not help my skin sadly.

Great Item! Performs better than any higher priced name brand foaming soap!
Scent: Mango, Size: 64 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
One thing I don't like about foaming hand soap is when it doesn't foam. I mean c'mon, the title of the product says foaming, so it should, foam! I've tried numerous brands of foaming soap for my dispenser and I always thought my dispenser was the issue because the soap would never come out with a good lathering foam. Well, I finally found a product, and surprisingly a brand I'm unfamiliar with or ever seen in the stores that in my opinion has far exceeded my expectations when it comes to foaming hand soap. The foaming pump dispenses just the right amount without going overboard, and it makes the product last forever. I work a lot in a job where I am in constant need to wash my hands constantly so I go through tons of soap! I love that I don't have to spend a fortune, and the mango scent is really nice without being to overbearing. It lathers well, rinses well and makes my hands clean. It is a half gallon but trust me, as someone who washes their hands very often, more often actually, that it lasts long. I'm looking forward to trying the other scents from this brand. Oh, and it does make your hands smell as nice as the mango scent too which is a pleasant bonus. All in all, I'm satisficed with this foaming hand soap and pretty much have found my new favorite brand without costing me an arm and leg for something that may or may not foam well.

I really like the smell of product. This is my second time ordering this.
It is more economical . Foam comes out smoothy . I don’t like a lot of scents but this is really a good one.
