![]() ![]() ![]() It’s why we all too often chase the familiar trappings of money, fame, and success that leave us feeling empty even when we do achieve them. We are so profoundly social that when we are incongruent with the group that we do lasting damage to our self-worth, diminish our well-being and never realize our full potential. From toilet paper shortages to kidneys that get thrown away rather than used for desperately needed organ transplants, from racial segregation to the perceived “electability” of women for political office, from bottled water to “cancel culture,” we routinely copy others, lie about what we believe, cling to tribes, and silence others. A complicated set of illusions driven by conformity bias distorts how we see the world around us. Todd Rose believes that as human beings we continually act against our own best interests out of our brains’ misunderstanding of what we think others believe. The desire to fit in is one of the most powerful, least understood forces in a society. ![]() Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, behavioral economic, and social psychology research, acclaimed author, former Harvard professor, and think tank founder Todd Rose reveals how so much of our thinking about each other is informed by false assumptions that drive bad decisions that make us dangerously mistrustful as a society and hopelessly unhappy as individuals. ![]()

Back in Japan, they had names and lives and friends and family, but in America, they are just "Japanese foreigners." The symbolism of their being brides is confused by their disappointing spouses. Their transfer from Japan to America has made them into more of an object than a person in terms of their public treatment. That is a clear symbol for the unanimous (and therefore systematic) nature of their struggle, and it also symbolizes their feelings of meaninglessness and lack of identity. One obvious symbolism in the book is that the women in the story have no name.
