Is anyone here familiar with his books or writings?

I own The Stuff of Thought. Used to be really interested in his writings and thoughts until that book where he was basically like, "the world used to be really terrible and now it's great, even though we think it's terrible."

Better Angels of Our Nature is a must-read in 2017. It might help keep you sane in our 24 hour news led society.
