本讲座是为2014年出版的新书《思维的起源》做推介演讲，内容比新书要更通俗，可作为概览该书的一种选择。以下是“今日心理学”对该书的评价：
“Mark Turner, in his new book The Origin of Ideas: Blending, Creativity, and the Human Spark, describes, in a wealth of fascinating detail, his view that humans are innovative and good at creative thinking due to the ability of our brains to blend two or more ideas and create a new idea. Only when evolution gave us brains with this new ability could we make vast cultural advances. . . . While The Origin of Ideas is not a simple book, and the concept of blending is much more sophisticated than it may seem initially, Turner leads the reader step by step, using familiar concepts to enhance understanding of those more complex. If you’re intrigued by how creativity happens, this smoothly written volume should be in your collection.” ―Psychology Today
