Join Steven Pinker, world-renowned cognitive scientist, Harvard professor, and one of Time’s “100 Most Influential People in the World Today,” for a fascinating exploration of human psychology. Pinker unravels how we think about what others are thinking about what we're thinking — a cyclical process that creates "common knowledge" and profoundly shapes our social, political, and economic lives. Discover how this hidden force explains life's most puzzling phenomena: why financial bubbles burst overnight, how revolutions emerge from nowhere, what drives diplomatic theater, and why complete honesty would make life unbearable.
