I am a brand new reader of this blog. In fact, I did a web search of "doing good or being good" and an entry from June came up. Anyway, in browsing what else you had to say, I came across your book title survey, and "The Elephant in the Brain" peaked my interest. I think that the subtitle is entirely appropriate to identify what the author has in mind. I am looking forward learning more!

Book cover has an cartoon-y illustration of a happy mischievous baby elephant inside the forehead of a scowling face looking upward in disapproval. Maybe the elephant is squirting water out of its trunk and some of it is accidentally splashing into the scowling face's eye. Maybe the elephant is pointing at an expensive bag of peanuts.
