I agree, these books are not peer-reviewed and usually contain a lot of mistakes and inaccuracies....
Concerning Pinker, his arguments against blate slate and standard social science model have been rather influential, especially in the field of evolutionary psychology. They are definitely worth checking out but I think the book is already outdated, so you might consider reading something else about the mind. Also if you are going to read Pinker, check this one out to get the other side of the story
