Sinopsis

Cursed Objects Explained explores the captivating realm of artifacts believed to carry negative energy. It delves into the history, legends, and potential explanations behind these objects' sinister reputations. The book examines how historical events, psychological suggestibility (like the nocebo effect), and cultural narratives intertwine to instill objects with a reputation for misfortune. Did you know that the belief in animism, where spirits inhabit objects, has significantly shaped our perception of cursed items throughout history?

 
The book begins by defining cursed objects and exploring the psychology of belief. It then presents case studies of objects like ill-fated paintings and jewelry associated with bad luck, dissecting their histories and potential rational explanations. A key chapter examines cultural rituals that contribute to curse perceptions.

 
Ultimately, it discusses how our belief in cursed objects reflects our anxieties and influences our understanding of causality. This approach offers a multidisciplinary lens, combining historical analysis, psychological insights, and cultural perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of these phenomena.

    Read by the authors. 
    How to combat our loneliness epidemic, build deep connection, and fight for (not with!) the ones you love, no matter what challenges you face. 
    In a time when so many suffer from isolation and it feels like developing authentic relationships and true belonging is harder than ever, Chris and Julie Bennett invite you into their story to discover why we were meant for togetherness and why it's worth facing any amount of hardship to keep our faith, families, and communities at the center of who we are. 
    When Chris and Julie and their four kids moved from Norman, Oklahoma, to Los Angeles (which just happened to be one of the most disconnected cities in the United States), they knew they were setting out on a great adventure. They’d be leaving behind the church they had pastored, the comfort of their established community, and the familiarity of their daily routines, but the new city promised to bring some much-needed change. 
    What they didn't expect was how this adventure—complicated by a cancer diagnosis, a relapse, and a pandemic—would challenge their notions of what it means to care for each other well, both as a biological family and as part of a broader community. 
    Rebelliously hopeful, the couple will take you on their harrowing journey as they show how family—whether biological, adopted, or chosen—is the greatest risk you'll ever take, the best reward you'll ever gain, and an essential part of what makes us human. 
    Questions for reflection can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    Our brains are remarkable. They subconsciously translate the events around us into meaningful storylines that inform what we think and how we live. The problem is, the stories our minds feed us as facts aren't always true.
