Book Review: How the Mind Works

How the Mind WorksHow the Mind Works by Steven Pinker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I like this book. In as much as it makes a good attempt to elucidate how the mind works, it also establishes links to important topics such as evolution, computation, language, human nature, nurture, sexuality, religion...
For this, I recommend it to engineers, scientists, philosophers, and enthusiasts alike.
However, since the book tries to capture several ideas about how the mind works, if you were looking to have a comprehensive takeaway about how the mind actually works, you'll still have scratched the surface.
