Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst

The book is starting from page of 41. There are missing pages!!

The idea is interesting but it can be summarized in a much shorter fashion. In addition, the writing style is appalling, unscientific and so colloquial that it makes the reading experience painful.

Behave is a book full of information about human aggression. Even though Prof. Sapolsky does not provide new solutions to deal with human aggression, he tells us about its biological roots and makes us look at the aggressors with a broader understanding. Our behaviours are more complex than what a single factor explanation can provide. The reviewer feels that the author does not discuss the democracy as a possible solution to the aggression as a societal problem. The reviewer also finds that the book could have appreciated the role of Lamarckian inheritance in some behavioural traits rather than being somewhat dismissive. This is a valuable addition to any collection of books. (This is only a summary of the full review posted on Humanities Commons.)

great

Love the quality of the paper and the cover and printing , also content is amazing must read

Prof. Sapolsky knows how to write a book with deep insights about the complex biology of human behavior in a very engaging and interesting tone.

Definitivamente se hizo de mis libros preferidos. Me encanta que se tome en cuenta todo con una crítica auténtica, sustentada, cómica y con fuentes de investigaciones. Obviamente toma en cuenta toda la parte social, la politica, la moral, la meritocracia, el racismo, el clasismo, el sexo, la genética. No solo se enfoca en como el cerebro reacciona, si no como traduce todo su contexto con su misma fisiología para dar comportamientos. Está increiblemente bien redactado y no hay manera que alguien no lo disfrute o aprenda de él si quiera.
