In "Rationality," renowned psychologist Steven Pinker reveals the habits of mind that enable us to make sound judgments, overcome biases, and navigate complex realities. From heuristics and mental models to the art of probabilistic thinking, Pinker unpacks the cognitive tools that distinguish rational thinkers. With vivid examples and sharp insights, he shows how we can cultivate rationality to tackle everything from personal decisions to global challenges. At its core, this book is a clarion call for using our most powerful faculty - reason - to build a better future.
