Description
Behave is an insightful and comprehensive exploration of the complex biological and neurological foundations of human behavior. Written by neurobiologist and primatologist Robert M. Sapolsky, the book delves into why humans act the way they do—from moments of kindness and altruism to acts of violence and cruelty.
Sapolsky takes readers on a multidisciplinary journey, combining findings from neuroscience, psychology, endocrinology, genetics, anthropology, and sociology to explain how behavior is influenced by factors ranging from milliseconds before an action to evolutionary history millions of years ago. The book examines how brain structures, hormones, environment, culture, and genetics interact in shaping Best Medical Books.
What makes Behave especially compelling is its balanced approach—it neither excuses bad behavior nor glorifies good behavior but rather seeks to understand the intricate web of causes behind all human actions. Sapolsky’s clear, engaging writing style makes complex science accessible and fascinating, enriched with stories, studies, and humor.
This book is ideal for readers interested in human nature, psychology, neuroscience, ethics, and social behavior. It provides deep insights that challenge simplistic ideas about free will, responsibility, and morality.
Behave is available in hardcover, paperback, Kindle ebook, and audiobook formats.
