The Stuff of Thought: Language As a Window Into Human Nature is a 2007 book by experimental psychologist Steven Pinker. Pinker "analyzes how our words relate to thoughts and to the world around us and reveals what this tells us about ourselves."[1] Put another way, Pinker "probes the mystery of human nature by examining how we use words".[2] The book became a New York Times best seller.
