This book is a more grounded & scientific companion to the book I read & recommended last year: “Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment” (2017) by Robert Wright. Both describe humans' thinking capacity the same: Instinct/emotional/“the elephant”/system 1 vs analytical/systematic/slow/“the rider”/system 2. A really interesting book to understand how we think about problems, and might help you think a little more carefully.
