In this delightful, acclaimed best seller, 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. This new edition of Pinker’s bold and buoyant classic is updated with a new foreword by the author.

This is a long book. Fortunately with Audible I was able to listen to it in about a week and a half. Mel Foster is an excellent narrator. Although I can't say that I grasped or agreed with every subject Pinker tackled in this volume, he certainly gives you plenty to think about. As a Christian I found Pinker's promotion of natural selection as the "creator" of all living matter unsupported and weak in evidence. Common ancestry or common creator? Nevertheless the discussion of psychology and thought development was quite interesting.
Lots of Food for Thought
