Leaps of Faith: Science, Miracles, and the Search for Supernatural Consolation 1999 edition
Nicholas Humphrey
Argues that our beliefs in the supernatural typically originate in anxiety about the future and are sustained by an entrenched belief in the duality of mind and body. More than just a debunking of supernaturalism, this book explores the psychology of the all-too-human tendency for wishful thinking.
