Editor’s Note:  How the brain works simply fascinates me.  Of other such books I’ve read, Burton is a bit more readable.  And this particular topic engaged me since I’m from a long line of Irish who are “often mistaken but never in doubt”.  Burton’s concept also seems an argument in favor of moderation, a scarce commodity in our current political environment.

 

Excerpt: “Certainty is everywhere.  Fundamentalism is in full bloom”.
