The Story
Unlock your mind. From the bestselling authors of Thinking, Fast
and Slow; The Black Swan; and Stumbling
on Happiness comes a cutting-edge exploration of the mysteries
of rational thought, decision-making, intuition, morality, willpower,
problem-solving, prediction, forecasting, unconscious behavior, and beyond.
Edited by John Brockman, publisher of Edge.org ("The world's smartest
website"—The
Guardian), Thinking presents
original ideas by today's leading psychologists, neuroscientists, and
philosophers who are radically expanding our understanding of human thought.
Contributors include:
Daniel Kahneman on the power (and
pitfalls) of human intuition and "unconscious" thinking Daniel Gilbert on desire,
prediction, and why getting what we want doesn't always make us happy Nassim Nicholas Taleb on the
limitations of statistics in guiding decision-making Vilayanur Ramachandran on the
scientific underpinnings of human nature Simon Baron-Cohen on the
startling effects of testosterone on the brain Daniel C. Dennett on decoding the
architecture of the "normal" human mind Sarah-Jayne Blakemore on mental
disorders and the crucial developmental phase of adolescence Jonathan Haidt, Sam Harris, and
Roy Baumeister on the science of morality, ethics, and the emerging synthesis
of evolutionary and biological thinking Gerd Gigerenzer on rationality
and what informs our choices
