Amazon description:
“In this Pulitzer Prize finalist and national bestseller, one of the world’s leading cognitive scientists tackles the workings of the human mind.
What makes us rational―and why are we so often irrational? How do we see in three dimensions? What makes us happy, afraid, angry, disgusted, or sexually aroused? Why do we fall in love? And how do we grapple with the imponderables of morality, religion, and consciousness?
How the Mind Works synthesizes the most satisfying explanations of our mental life from cognitive science, evolutionary biology, and other fields to explain what the mind is, how it evolved, and how it allows us to see, think, feel, laugh, interact, enjoy the arts, and contemplate the mysteries of life.”
“Pinker has a knack for making the profound seem obvious….A fascinating bag of evolutionary insights.”
― The Economist
“Hugely entertaining…always sparkling and provoking.”
― Wall Street Journal
“Undeniably brilliant.”
― Newsday
