About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook edition of Behave by Robert Sapolsky, read by Michael Goldstrom.
The New York Times best seller.
Winner of the 2017 LA Times Book Prize.
Why do human beings behave as they do?
We are capable of savage acts of violence but also spectacular feats of kindness: is one side of our nature destined to win out over the other?
Every act of human behaviour has multiple layers of causation, spiralling back seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, even centuries, right back to the dawn of time and the origins of our species.
In the epic sweep of history, how does our biology affect the arc of war and peace, justice and persecution? How have our brains evolved alongside our cultures?
This is the exhilarating story of human morality and the science underpinning the biggest question of all: what makes us human?

"Awe-inspiring.... You will learn more about human nature than in any other book I can think of." (Henry Marsh)
"One of the best scientist-writers of our time." (Oliver Sacks)

The book is beautiful understanding of modern day world through psycho-physiology. Loved it as it quashes quite a few myths about human race and its superiority!

Fantastic account of brain and behaviour
I wasn't sure if there would be new information than already available in public domain all around. But the beauty with which this book ties in science, brain, psychology and behaviours is very interesting. Worth a read / listen!

The Most Comprehensive Account of Our Behaviours
I thoroughly enjoyed the book _Behave_ by Robert Sapolsky, a Stanford University Neuroendochronology Professor with wide interests.
Predictably, the book provides almost exhaustive and the most comprehensive neurobiological account of our behaviors and their implications on our economy, law and the future of humanity! Punctuated by his wisdom & wit, the book is engaging while it acts as the perfect antidote for the wasted, vacuous and wasteful Weltanschauung in circulation through social media nowadays!

Amazing!
Difficult, and took two years to finish, and to be honest, I didn't understand everything. But amazing!

Recommend Strongly!
The Book explains " why we do the things we do". It tries to explain things in multiple perspectives.
