A review by morgan_blackledge
The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature by Steven Pinker

4.0

I love Steven Pinker and I loved this book.


NOTE: What an ironically lame review of a book that is legitimate genius! In retrospect, I must not have had the time/wherewithal to write the review this amazing book deserves.

It had (and still has) a HUGE influence on my thinking and way of seeing the world. How many books can you say that about?

Clichés like ‘transformative’ or ‘monumental’ or ‘important’ come to mind when I try to describe it in a quick pass.

That sounds lame and hyperbolic, but that’s honestly appropriate when describing this work.

I guess I’m left where I started.

I love Steven Pinker and I loved this book.
