Publisher's Synopsis
Does the past determine the present and the future? If you believe it does, then you believe in a world of unilinear causality. However, retrocausality argues the opposite - that the future impacts and determines the present and the past. Causality doesn't need to run in just one direction. In this series of essays, cognitive scientist Dr. Mark Hatala examines retrocausal explanations for a number of psychological phenomena, including learning, memory, evolution, love at first sight, depression, intelligence, and death. Written for a general reader, this book reinterprets psychological research findings to show how retrocausality impacts our daily lives.
