INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2018
ONE OF THE ECONOMIST'S BOOKS OF THE YEAR

If you think the world is coming to an end, think again: people are living longer, healthier, freer, and happier lives, and while our problems are formidable, the solutions lie in the Enlightenment ideal of using reason and science. By the author of the new book, Rationality.

Is the world really falling apart? Is the ideal of progress obsolete? In this elegant assessment of the human condition in the third millennium, cognitive scientist and public intellectual Steven Pinker urges us to step back from the gory headlines and prophecies of doom, which play to our psychological biases. Instead, follow the data: In seventy-five jaw-dropping graphs, Pinker shows that life, health, prosperity, safety, peace, knowledge, and happiness are on the rise, not just in the West, but worldwide. This progress is not the result of some cosmic force. It is a gift of the Enlightenment: the conviction that reason and science can enhance human flourishing.

Far from being a naïve hope, the Enlightenment, we now know, has worked. But more than ever, it needs a vigorous defense. The Enlightenment project swims against currents of human nature--tribalism, authoritarianism, demonization, magical thinking--which demagogues are all too willing to exploit. Many commentators, committed to political, religious, or romantic ideologies, fight a rearguard action against it. The result is a corrosive fatalism and a willingness to wreck the precious institutions of liberal democracy and global cooperation.

With intellectual depth and literary flair, Enlightenment Now makes the case for reason, science, and humanism: the ideals we need to confront our problems and continue our progress.

Good for larger treats, not small ones
Pattern Name: Carrot, Pattern Name: Carrot
Our dog loves this treat toy. It has been very durable as far as the rubber part goes but the cloth carrot insert not so much, that got torn apart pretty quickly. Also this works for bigger treats, but once the cloth carrot was destroyed, there was no way to keep small treats from just falling out. Now we use it to stick larger chew sticks in the holes and it works to help her keep it in place while chewing.

Dogs love these treat toys
Pattern Name: Strawberry, Pattern Name: Strawberry
I have big dogs who live for treats and love to play puzzle games to find treats. You can stuff these toys with small treats which gives your dog a mental challenge while working to figure out how to get them out. The quality of these toys are great but durability with big dogs will be short lived. The strawberry green top immediately was de-stuffed while dog was looking for more hidden treats. The corn husk seems to be more challenging for them to get the treats out. However my smarter dog was determined and eventually reaped the rewards. I would recommend these toys for dogs who will not rip them apart.... but really is there any pup who doesn't enjoy de-stuffing a stuffie squeek toy?

Great feeder for high energy puppy!
Size: Large, Color: Blue
I have a 50lb high energy puppy. She is not a fast eater, BUT she loves this activity and it gives me about 30 minutes of uninterrupted bliss. It took about 10 minutes to demonstrate to help her get the hang of it. She will sit, spin the barrel with her paw, then sniff every divider, only open the ones with her food, and then restart the process. It is sturdy and stays on the floor as she paws and pushes. It might move a little, but not far. This is my favorite puzzle toy by far and I love that it is "hard" enough to keep her occupied but not enough that she gets frustrated and doesn't want to do it.

VERY PUZZLING
Size: Extra Large, Color: Matisse green
My dog, who is VERY intelligent, took an extremely long time to figure it out, and that was after following the video directions of how to train her. However, every other puzzle i bought her, i never had to spend a moment teaching her how to solve it, so KUDOS! AND she still loves it!!! Thank you. I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback. She is VERY strong and I think she doesn't break it because she doesn't want to, but it does not feel cheap.

Variable difficulties and relative quietness make this puzzle our households favorite!
Size: Large, Color: Blue, Size: Large, Color: Blue
Great puzzle for our dog. We started her out taking all the covers off to get her used to how the rolling feeder works. Now she’s a pro and loves it. It is difficult enough in that she has to use multiple senses, but she hasn’t shown frustration with it now that she’s learned it. It is also the QUIETEST puzzle of hers. Which is a huge plus.
