This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Those who pull at threads on the fringe of complex topics and issues, and those who like pop jargon; fall for unsubstantiated plausibility structures; chronilogical snobery and overbroad claims.

What was most disappointing about The Great Courses’s story?

Redudictive point of view comes accross as quite smug.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

His narration was the best part.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Your Deceptive Mind: A Scientific Guide to Critical Thinking Skills?

I guess I would start with the title. If the premis of the course is supported by a bias of strong-materialistic naturalism then there is by definition no such thing as a distinction of the mind (mind and brain are just interchangable terms). He should realize without an animated and self-directed mind there can be no critical thinking in the first place, and QED, Materialistic Naturalism must be a false premis.
