I'm reading through Behave by Robert M. Sapolsky.
It's a science based look at human behaviour. It's not light reading but it's not a textbook either, it's in-between.
This book will remain unknown just by the virtue of it's weight - this is not 'how to feel better by meditating 10 minutes a day' pop psychology pamphlet, this will take some work to get through :)
- yesenadam 7y agoI watched his 25-part Biology of Human Behavior (Stanford U.) course years ago, it's the best course I've ever done. Maybe covers a lot of the same ground. He's a great lecturer! Very funny and a great storyteller. There's a lot on how brains work, how genes work, and then all the levels science studies human (and animal) behaviour - e.g. "Why did they do that?" can be explained by what happened a millisecond ago, or a few seconds ago, or that morning, or .. (a dozen levels omitted) ... millions of years ago. Lecture I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNnIGh9g6fA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNnIGh9g6fA
