![How the Mind Works | [Steven Pinker]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/515mHcox+eL._SL175_.jpg)
"Misleading book title"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Yes, I'd definitively recommend it to friends. The book is very interesting, but Pinker got the title wrong. The book explains very well WHAT the mind works, and WHY does it make sense that the mind does what it does. But the book NEVER explains HOW the mind does it.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?The most interesting is the variety of topics covered in the book. Full with interesting specific cases and references to studies.
The least interesting is the lack of substance in the theory of How the mind works. Pinker basically pushes 3 ideas through: 1) natural selection, 2) the mind is made up of organs like the rest of the body, 3) the analogy of the mind as a computational device
As much as those ideas are interesting, they are old and well accepted. So, the book is just a nice way to put them together, but without bringing any new argument to the discussion.
What about Mel Foster’s performance did you like?The performance of Mel Foster was outstanding.
