Just like the title suggests this book is a Users Guide for the Human Mind.  It explains why we do certain things and the psychological reason as to why we do them.

It explains different ideas and where they come from for example Karma is of the Hindu religion. It also asks deep questions like "does religion come from moral philosophy or does moral philosophy come from religion?"
