overview

“Enlightenment Now” by cognitive psychologist, linguist, professor, and popular science author Steven Pinker is a total knockout book that answers the existential crises question of why you are alive. Delving deep into science without beginning to sound too wordy, this book opens your eyes to the marvelous belief of enlightenment. “Our greatest enemies are ultimately not our political adversaries but entropy, evolution (in the form of pestilence and the flaws in human nature), and most of all ignorance — a shortfall of knowledge of how best to solve our problems.” ~ Steven Pinker
