Review:A great book useful for managers, students, or anyone in the workplace struggling to place subtle psychopathic behavior in context and adapt accordingly. Especially useful is the research in involving psychopaths who play the victim to forward their agenda. A great read not wrapped in intense psychological jargon or testing, Read more

Review:Why package the basic message, that gut microbes are important to our health and well-being, in out-of-date ideas about diet? The author routinely confuses issues by blaming the harms of high-sugar eating on dietary fats. He repeatedly goes after animal fats, and promotes olive oil, without considering their fatty acid compositions, which have considerable overlap. For a book published in 2016 this is unforgivable, although perhaps not surprising given that he cites Ancel Keys, whose opinions on... Read more

Review:Brain plasticity is a very interesting subject, and Mr. Merzenich is well-versed in it and has been involved with research regarding it for a long time. There is some good information in this book, but it turns out to be mostly an ad for his (not inexpensive) product developed to aid in maintaining brain plasticity. Like many many other products on the market. Read more

THe 1956 book is underlined by the collapse of true Soviet empire in Hu... Read more

Review:Joshua Greene has a very interesting academic background - he is both a research psychologist and a philosopher. He uses his expertise in both areas to explain why ethical issues are fundamentally impossible to resolve if we rely only on our moral intuitions.

Greene's Moral Tribes: Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them takes the fascinating ideas from Daniel Kahneman's Read more

Review:I bought this book to gain insight. Instead I found an alchemist trying to discuss chemistry. I should have known from the title. We have/are a brain not a mind. Reading this book is painful. One of his first tasks Pnker undertakes is to criticize behavioral science. He calls it stimulus response. Behavioral science gives six causes for human behavior:
1. Genetic Endowment
2. Pre-natal chemical environment
3. Post-natal chemical environment
4. Classical conditioning(Pavlov)Read more
