**Book Description:**
In "Rationality," Steven Pinker, a cognitive scientist and rational optimist, challenges the common portrayal of humans as fundamentally irrational beings. He argues that while humans have cognitive biases and blind spots, these limitations cannot fully explain the incredible achievements of humanity, such as discovering the laws of nature and advancing society.
The book addresses the timeliness of the topic, highlighting the contrast between humanity's scientific progress and the proliferation of fake news, conspiracy theories, and "post-truth" rhetoric. Pinker explores the key tools for rational thinking, guiding readers through the basics of logic, critical thinking, probability, correlation, causation, and making rational decisions, both individually and collectively.
In a world where irrational decisions can have significant consequences, Pinker's "Rationality" emphasizes the importance of enhancing rational thinking skills in our lives and in the public sphere. It serves as a toolkit to help individuals and influencers make more informed choices and shape a better future.
