Raucous. The cartoons, an obvious homage to Larry Gonick, just didn't work for me: I found them busy, distracting, and not entirely illustrative of the important points. Ornstein's tone is heavyhanded, feeling more like a lecture than a presentation. This is unfortunate, because the topics covered in this book are important ones that every self-aware person should understand: how our mind works, how it can trick us.For those curious, I might instead recommend [b:On Being Certain Believing You Are Right Even When You're Not 2740964 On Being Certain Believing You Are Right Even When You're Not Robert Burton http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255628630s/2740964.jpg 2766617] or the works of [a:Robert Sapolsky 1025281 Robert Sapolsky http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg] or [a:John Allen Paulos 32711 John Allen Paulos http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg].
