        FYI: You can be self promotive without clickbaiting. "I published a book that B.G. sort of endorses. Please buy."

        I meant to order “enlightenment now” but had a brain fart and order “the better angles of our nature”. It’s fantastic but enlightenment now will have to momentarily wait. Looking forward to it.

        Having enjoyed 'The Language Instinct' and 'How the Mind Works' I hope Gallo's article gravely misrepresents this new @sapinker book. He manages to make the book appear as rather repellent, like Dale Carnegie written for 21st century smug gits.

        It looks to me like the reviewer spun an irrelevant "leadership" narrative out of the book for the publication he writes for. It's unlikely Pinker says much, if anything, about leadership in his book.
