review 1: Had I not been listening to this book I might have given up on it. The thing to remember is though important to understand how we might be hardwired, we have the ability to control and choose our own behaviors. Being aware of "why" I might find myself leaning towards hard wiring thinking, I still am in control. This could be the difference in my worldview that we have a Creator and not left to evolution. I am glad I did stick with it.
review 2: My minor in college was philosophy, but it just as easily could have been psychology. I really enjoyed listening to this book, hearing how the brain which got the human race to where we are today is still there, perhaps impacting our everyday decisions. The book deals with human heuristics - hardwired tendencies we a... morepparently inherit at birth. Perhaps more interesting to me because of my computer background, heuristics are techniques used in computer programming to simulate human-style reasoning. less
