Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters Book by Steven Pinker

In his 2021 book, Rationality: What It Is, Why It Seems Scarce, Why It Matters, cognitive scientist Steven Pinker argues that humans are fundamentally capable of rational thought. He refutes the idea that our species is hopelessly irrational due to biases and fallacies. Pinker instead suggests that our "irrational" behaviors often come from applying rational thinking designed for low-tech, everyday problems to complex, modern issues.
