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.
