“It’s no exaggeration to say that Behave is one of the best non-fiction books I’ve ever read” --David P. Barash Hi all, If you’d like a grand, multi-disciplinary tour of the science of human behaviour, this book is it. New York Times bestselling book Behave: The biology of humans at our best and worst draws upon cutting edge scientific research, revealing the hidden reasons behind our actions. Moving among various disciplines, author Robert M. Sapolsky tackles some of our most complex questions related to hierarchy and competition, tribalism and xenophobia, morality and free will, war and peace. Sapolsky starts by describing the factors that play into an individual’s behaviour in the exact moment that it occurs and then moves far back in time to explain our biological history as a species and its legacy in the present day. He also wrestles with cultural/group influences on an individual’s behaviour, which sounds intriguing in light of our understanding of social norms.
