It's a collection of essays from leading modern thinkers (Dawson, Pinker, etc) on which cognitive tools people should be equipped with. It's fantastic. I'm 1/4 through at the moment and I can honestly say it lives up to it's title.
You can read all the essays for free at http://edge.org/responses/what-scientific-concept-would-impr... (book form is a lot nicer though) - edge.org is well worth poking about on. There's some seriously interesting stuff on there.
