Kluge: The Haphazard Evolution of the Human Mind
by Gary Marcus, 2008

The premise of the book, that our mental capabilities sometimes leads to odd workaround behaviors, is interesting enough. And I did like certain parts of the book. But overall, it just wore me down. Not particularly recommended. Discusses the difficulty of remembering a specific piece of information, the imperfect nature of language, overconfidence, not knowing what makes us happy, and coping with mental illnesses. I listened to this on audiobook, and Maria gave up after a few chapters.
