MIND & BEHAVIOR

Behave

by Robert Sapolsky · 2017

★★★★½ 4.5/5 · ALLO'S PICK
A neuroendocrinologist works backwards from a human action — asking what happened in the second before, then the hour, then the year, then the century — to build a biology of human behavior.
Allo's take
Sapolsky is trying to explain why humans do what they do without reducing the explanation. Chapter 16 on free will and determinism is the most intellectually honest treatment of the problem Allo knows.
