Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst

Behave - Robert Sapolsky

I'll mention two of mine. NB: they demand sustained reading and require nontrivial time investment. The patient reader will be handsomely rewarded. - Behave, by Robert Sapolsky. Here's[1] my mini review from the past. I've also picked up various other fascinating books from Behave. - Seneca's all of 124 letters. A good English translation is key here. Get the edition published Chicago University; translated by Anthony Long and Margaret Graver. (Related: I wrote about high quality translations by top scholars of Stoic works here[2].)

I'm working on it now, but Behave by Robert Sapolsky has been fantastic so far. All about evolutionary biology and how it influences behavior/psychology.

“Behave: the biology of humans at our best and worst” by Sapolsky was my favorite. I knew little about neurobiology, and this went a little deeper.
