Nearly every depressed person is assured by doctors, well-meaning friends and family, the media, and ubiquitous advertisements that the underlying problem is a chemical imbalance. Such a simple defect should be fixable, yet despite all of the resources that have been devoted to finding a pharmacological solution, depression remains stubbornly widespread. Why are we losing this fight?

This is not a "get better - how to beat depression" or "dealing with a spouses depression" - it's an enlightening look on what depression and low mood *is*. What biological purpose low mood could have, how one could become depressed, how one might become better, what one should expect. It's realistic and beautiful and interesting and can teach you one or two things about how to live a happy life.

Linguistics, the study of language, has a reputation for being complex and inaccessible. But here's a secret: There's a lot that's quirky and intriguing about how human language works-and much of it is downright fun to learn about. But with so many potential avenues of exploration, it can often seem daunting to try to understand it. Where does one even start?

Very good introduction to how languages work, evolve and change, across space (borrowing words from other languages, languages evolving from other languages) and time (how slang becomes common place (title), words changing with time). Makes you see language in a different light and appreciate it for what it is, and makes stuck up people like me (and maybe you if you twitched when reading the title) not care so much about "improper" language use.

In This Explains Everything, John Brockman, founder and publisher of Edge.org, asked experts in numerous fields and disciplines to come up with their favorite explanations for everyday occurrences. Why do we recognize patterns? Is there such a thing as positive stress? Are we genetically programmed to be in conflict with each other? Those are just some of the 150 questions that the world's best scientific minds answer with elegant simplicity.

Haphazardly put together rubriks.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
If you know the subjects, even at an introductory level, you might agree with the comments and feel good about yourself. If you don't, you are probably not going to learn, and you'll just feel confused.
What was most disappointing about John Brockman’s story?
There is no story here, but that wouldn't have to have been a bad thing, it's just that the small texts are hard to follow, and you don't really learn anything from them.
This is a book best formatted as a text, not as audio.
