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

philosophers who are radically expanding our understanding of human thought.

    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
