Thanks for your reply!

I have a few of Pinker's books. In addition to Better Angels, I like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blank_Slate
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_the_Mind_Works
which were both good in their time and hold up fairly well today.

I see The Lessons of History is on archive.org and I have it in another tab to read, but won't link it here as this online version may be a copyright violation. But I started reading it and it's very good so far!

Thanks again and I also wish you a nice week ahead!
