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

4.5
It's such a good book. I feel like a more knowledgeable person having read this. It's the type of book you don't just read, but reflect on and implement. I need to spend a few days sitting with this and sorting everything I've learned. It's provided me with so many more topics and ideas to hone in on. The writing style is engaging, digestible, and surprisingly funny even when the topic being discussed is complex. He covers a variety of subjects which I now have a basic understanding of. Some of my previous ideas on morality and politics have been challenged so I'm excited about scrutinising them. Side note: his vocabulary is extensive I didn't think I'd learn so many new words haha
