After scavenging in Half Price Books recently, I came across "How The Mind Works" in my favorite part of the store, the psychology section. The author, Steven Pinker, is well-known for his work in the field of cognition, and admittedly, I am not familiar with the specifics of his work, but seeing as I can never feel guilty buying a discounted book, I'm going to give it a try.
I've just started it, and so far, the material is pretty basic, but I promise to hold judgment on its quality until the very end. And when I do reach the end of this 600+ page book, I should have a profound understanding of how the mind operates and I'll be sure to report back with all the juicy details.
