In this delightful, acclaimed 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?

great stuff for the most part, though the narrator for this book was sometimes a bit monotonous to listen to. my only beef with the content is Pinker's weird need to use a lot of straw man arguments to back up some of his points (even ones where I agree with his conclusions!) overall good and important stuff, but a very long listen!

With deft use of examples of humor and wordplay, Steven Pinker weaves our vast knowledge of language into a compelling story: language is a human instinct, wired into our brains by evolution. The Language Instinct received the William James Book Prize from the American Psychological Association....
