Short good book saying that most of our political opinions and actions are actually far more motivated by self-interest than many people would believe (or admit). Heavily influenced by the idea of the modular mind, where the part of us that speaks and ponders is actually a very small part of our overall mind - and crucially, not the part of our mind that is truly "in charge" although it may strongly believe that it's the boss! Very short book (hooray) with a huge set of appendices containing numerical data and statistical methodology -- I think that stuff could have easily been relegated to a website and that way fewer trees would have been consumed.… (altro)
