Here is the most fundamental question in human life: How do we decide how we decide? We make such decisions all the time. If you trust your doctor, you might decide to follow a simple rule for medical decisions: Do whatever your doctor suggests. If you like someone a lot, and maybe love them, but are not sure whether you want to marry them, you might do this: Live with them first. Some of these strategies are wise. They prevent error. They improve your emotional well-being. Some of these strategies are foolish. They lead you in the direction of terrible mistakes. They prevent you from learning. They might make you miserable. Drawing on and revising previously published essays, Decisions about Decisions explores how people do, and should, make decisions about decisions. It aims to see what they are, to explore how they go right, and see where they go wrong.

In the months before the 2020 U.S. election, several campaign websites added pre-checked boxes (defaults), automatically making donations into recurring weekly contributions unless donors unchecked them. Since these changes occurred at different times for different campaigns, we measure the causal effects of defaults on donors' behavior. We estimate that defaults increased campaign donations by over $44 million while increasing requested refunds by $3.5 million. The longer defaults were displayed, the more money campaigns raised through weekly donations. Donors did not compensate for starting weekly chains by changing the amount they donated through other means. We found that the default had a larger impact on smaller donors and on donors who had no prior experience with defaults.

A crisis of faith may feel like the death of our testimony. But what if it is not the death of our testimony, but a rebirth of it? After a lifetime of being a devoted Latter-day Saint, Rico Maranto unexpectedly suffered a severe and devastating crisis of faith that plunged him into what he now calls "the dark night of the soul." Overcome with doubt and uncertainty, he began to feel abandoned by God and all that He has taught. But through the years of his dark night, Rico transitioned from nearly losing his faith to rediscovering rebirth. Now Rico shares his story and explains how his crisis transformed him and entirely changed his perspective on faith. In this inspiring book, Rico reframes our perception of doubt and alleviates the shame and guilt that many feel when experiencing similar faith crises. With his loving understanding and knowledge gained as someone who has been through the storm and come out stronger than ever, you will discover the five stages of faith as a template for spiritual development. strategies and toolsets for enduring a crisis of faith. how to help others who are struggling with their own doubts. If you or a loved one are struggling with your faith, know that the dark night of the soul is not reason to despair; it is a divinely designed spiritual chrysalis intended to transform us into all the Lord needs us to become-the best version of ourselves.

With videogames now one of the world's most popular diversions, the virtual world has increasing psychological influence on real-world players. This book examines the relationships between virtual and non-virtual identity in visual role-playing games. Utilizing James Gee's theoretical constructs of real-world identity, virtual-world identity, and projective identity, this research shows dynamic, varying and complex relationships between the virtual avatar and the player's sense of self and makes recommendations of terminology for future identity researchers.

In their bold experimentation and bracing engagement with culture and politics, the “New Hollywood” films of the late 1960s and early 1970s are justly celebrated contributions to American cinematic history. Relatively unexplored, however, has been the profound environmental sensibility that characterized movies such as The Wild Bunch, Chinatown, and Nashville. This brisk and engaging study explores how many hallmarks of New Hollywood filmmaking, such as the increased reliance on location shooting and the rejection of American self-mythologizing, made the era such a vividly “grounded” cinematic moment. Synthesizing a range of narrative, aesthetic, and ecocritical theories, it offers a genuinely fresh perspective on one of the most studied periods in film history.
