Рет қаралды 30,538
Күн бұрынSteven Pinker is a psychologist, linguist, and author whose new book, Enlightenment Now: The Case For Reason, Science, Humanism, And Progress, attempts to ease your general feelings of despair by using data science to prove that things in the world are generally getting better. In addition to his new book, we had Pinker recommend five more books about science that anyone can pick up.

ok i'm going to add a book about us that isn't pinker's, namely 'Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst' by Robert Sapolsky. it is as comprehensive a book on the human psyche as 'better angels of our nature' is on human progress. I've read it at least five times, and it just blows my mind every time.

I'd have chosen Stephen J Gould "Wonderful life:" "We are the offspring of history, and must establish our own paths in this most diverse and interesting of conceivable universes - one indifferent to our suffering, and therefore offering us maximum freedom to thrive, or to fail, in our own chosen way"

_The Beginning of Infinity_ is one of my all-time favorites! As for the best Pinker book to recommend, _How the Mind Works_ (1997) is like a college course unto itself. It's really accessible, check it out.

I really like Pinker but man I have such a hard time staying interested with his writing. I suppose it's just his style but I've tried reading 3 of his books, I recognize that they're good, but I quickly lose the interest to continue.

The Selfish Gene and The Blind Watchmaker were great. Also, The Greatest Show On Earth was very good too, as well as all of his other books.
