"If Nietzsche Were a Narwhal makes some extraordinary and thought-provoking points. It is not only engagingly written, but its controversial thesis is worth taking seriously… some of the cognitive concepts introduced… are nothing less than brilliant." -David P. Barash, Wall Street Journal (for If Nietzsche Were a Narwhal) "A dazzling, delightful read on what animal cognition can teach us about our own mental shortcomings. You won't just tear through this book in one sitting-you'll probably want to invite Justin Gregg over for dinner to spend more time inside his brilliant mind. This is one of the best debuts I've read in a long time, and I dare you to open it without rethinking some of your basic ideas about intelligence." -Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again (for If Nietzsche Were a Narwhal) "A snappy read: it left me wondering why we don't respect signals of intelligence from other species-and more deeply consider how our own intelligence works against us." -Amy Brady, Scientific American (for If Nietzsche Were a Narwhal)
