Every year, the zeitgeist latches onto a new psychological buzzword. Boundaries were chic. Gaslighting was everywhere. Now cognitive dissonance is back—and in an increasingly polarised world, people often use it to explain why the other side just doesn’t get it. But what happens when your own beliefs are challenged? Maybe you catch yourself defending a position even though you're no longer sure about it. Or perhaps someone presents evidence you can’t refute, but you’re certainly not going to accept it from someone like that. So you discredit their character instead.
Responding to Cognitive Dissonance is for anyone who recognises those moments and wants to understand what’s happening beneath them. This book draws on neuroscience, psychology and evolutionary biology to explore why a challenged belief can feel threatening, how predictability and safety shape our responses, and how social privilege can affect what we’re willing to see. If you’ve ever wondered why changing your mind can feel harder than it sounds, this book offers an answer.

Five years ago, boundaries were chic. In 2022, gaslighting was word of the year (no, actually). Now, from the depths of the collective psyche, cognitive dissonance is back. In an increasingly polarised world, it's wielded as a weapon to explain why 'the other side' just doesn't get it, and sometimes, as a sly way to prop up our own perspective as just too. nuanced for others to understand. Throwing in a psychological term mid-argument has a certain je ne sais quoi, I guess. In this current climate, I felt compelled to write this bookThis book invites you to explore cognitive dissonance and the various ways we respond when our beliefs are challenged. Together, we'll explore how prediction, safety, and belief shape our experience, and examine the neuroscience underpinning cognitive dissonance. Along the way, we'll examine why authentic acceptance can be so challenging, and how privilege can influence our responses. We'll discuss splitting as a derivative of binary survival reasoning. Towards the end, you'll find practical tools to help you stay grounded during times of cognitive dissonance. You'll also find questions throughout designed to get you reflecting on your experience.This book is available in French: La dissonance cognitive et nos façons d'y répondre.
