I haven't read that one, but I have read his latest book, 'The Believing Brain: From Ghosts and Gods to Politics and Conspiracies---How We Construct Beliefs and Reinforce Them as Truths.' In the introduction he basically says that it is the book he has been working towards his whole life. It's a very good read, and I'll probably read it again. It really nails down how flawed our brains are and how succeptable even extremely intelligent people are to silly beliefs.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
