Activism and psychology books

I know bold plans to read and discuss The Moral Landscape did not go as smoothly as one might have hoped, interrupted by more urgent undertakings.

That said, there are a trio of books I am planning to read that may be of interest to readers of this site:

  • Alinsky, Saul. Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals.
  • Carson, Clayborne ed. The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.
  • Pinker, Steven. The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature.

If anybody feels inclined to read and discuss one of them, I can make it a priority reading task for myself.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. Between 2005 and 2007 I completed an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. I worked for five years for the Canadian federal government, including completing the Accelerated Economist Training Program, and then completed a PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto in 2023.

  1. I found The Blank Slate to be excellent, and really made me change the way I think about human nature.

  2. Based on the recommendation above, I will be glad to read The Blank Slate.
