    In this delightful, acclaimed bestseller, one of the world’s leading cognitive scientists tackles the workings of the human mind. What makes us rational—and why are we so often irrational? How do we see in three dimensions? What makes us happy, afraid, angry, disgusted, or sexually aroused? Why do we fall in love? And how do we grapple with the imponderables of morality, religion, and consciousness?

    David says: "Excellent, but a difficult listen."
    "Very interesting , still sometimes repetitive"

    Story
    If you could sum up How the Mind Works in three words, what would they be?

    Insightfull, Profound, Unstable


    What was one of the most memorable moments of How the Mind Works?

    The concept about the diferent modes that the brain processes information is interesting, still I think needs a little polishing.


    What does Mel Foster bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    The narratives of personal experiences are very interesting when heard with the tone of voice of the person that experienced them.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    It is a profound book with many concepts which I prefered digesting in various sesions. I listen to it while jogging and it was perfect.


    Any additional comments?

    Very detailed and most concepts are supported by examples, still there are some times that ideas were presented without too much support.

    Every day, we make decisions on topics ranging from personal investments to schools for our children to the meals we eat to the causes we champion. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. The reason, the authors explain, is that, being human, we are all susceptible to various biases that can lead us to blunder. Our mistakes make us poorer and less healthy; we often make bad decisions involving education, personal finance, health care, mortgages and credit cards, the family, and even the planet itself.
