" Random House presents the audiobook edition of Behave by Robert Sapolsky, read by Michael Goldstrom.THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER / WINNER OF THE 2017 LA TIMES BOOK PRIZEWhy 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 "

Rezension(2): "Wall Street Journal: Awe-inspiring ... This is the best scientific book written for non-specialists that I have ever read. You will learn more about human nature than in any other book I can think of, and you will be inspired" Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:Narrator Michael Goldstrom performs Sapolsky's fascinating audiobook like a youthful professor. He succeeds in making this seemingly impenetrable topic completely understandable. The premise, centered on the question of what motivates human behavior, seems daunting, but Sapolsky's work is deep, thoughtful, and wide ranging. A renowned neuroendocrinologist, he covers the details of human neurology and connects them with behavioral motivations, the wider culture, and free will. The exhaustive nature of this work is cutting-edge, yet the audiobook is thoroughly enjoyable. BEHAVE is a must-listen for anyone curious about the science of why we do what we do.
