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
