Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters by Steven Pinker

3.0

I’m a big fan of Steven Pinker, but I found this book a little disappointing. One of the reasons Pinker’s previous books are so excellent is because he takes textbook material and writes it in a narrative way, fusion facts and implications together. Rationality tried to do that, but it fell short. A majority of this book reads like a textbook, whereas the last two chapters of the book are more true to Pinker’s style.
