I read a lot. I read a lot of psychology each year and social science and everything related to it. So when I say this is one of the best books I have ever read you ought to take that statement seriously. This is a very good book and it should be an illustration to all of how to take science and make it accessible as pop-science that is not watered down. To me Robert Wright is one of the best living science writers. So yeah, I recommend it.
Pro:
One of my favorite books of all time.
Con:
It is a bit long for some. And some of the book might be a bit repetitive knowledge if you already know everything about the human mind.
