Not that serious
Reviewed: 07-29-19
This is not a science book, nor an academic one. This is more like a recreational lecture, with a lot of anecdotes, informative but not revealing. Nice to hear if you are not expecting something serious.

Story
In The Blank Slate, Steven Pinker, one of the world's leading experts on language and the mind, explores the idea of human nature and its moral, emotional, and political colorings. With characteristic wit, lucidity, and insight, Pinker argues that the dogma that the mind has no innate traits, denies our common humanity and our individual preferences, replaces objective analyses of social problems with feel-good slogans, and distorts our understanding of politics, violence, parenting, and the arts.

The best book in evolutionary psychology
Reviewed: 05-24-19
The entire book is enlightening, and easy to go through it. The best narrative and probably the best intellectual content of all the evolutionary psychology books I have go through until now. A must read

Factfulness

Story
Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of carrying only opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.

Me more facts about global warming
Reviewed: 04-25-19
The book overall is good, it really put things into perspective, the book that restores makes see the good facts about the world and points outdated information. The main issue I have with this book is that it addresses global warming as a big problem, but don't go into detail and that for me is a big downside like the author is ignoring the issue.

Story
Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.
