«Cómo funciona la mente» is the popular science essay by Steven Pinker, published by Destino in paperback (872 pages, in Spanish).
Steven Pinker explains what the mind is and how it evolved from evolutionary biology and cognitive science: perception, emotions, social relationships and thought. He defends the mind as a computer and the role of natural selection, and questions the irrationality of emotions or the influence of parents on personality.
Published in 2001; the original work received the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and was chosen as a notable book of the year by The New York Times.
A dense and technical work, recommended for readers with prior training in psychology or neuroscience, rather than a first approach to popular science.
