Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Very good read on Cognitive Science, it covers the basics of the subject in an approachable and understandable way. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is that it could go a bit deeper on some ideas, for many of the topics it felt like the chapters (and even the entire book) finished a few pages short of a satisfying conclusion.
