Summary:Thinking is overrated: firefighters make the right calls without a clue as to why; and you are ill advised to look at your steps as you go down the stairs. Just do it, mindlessly. Both psychologists and the common man have long worked out that thinking is often a bad idea, but philosophers still hang on to an intellectualist picture of human action. This book challenges that picture and calls on philosophers to wake up to the power of mindlessness.
