Robert Sapolsky’s Behave, his now classic account of why humans do good and why they do bad, pointed toward an unsettling conclusion: We may not grasp the precise marriage of nature and nurture that creates the physics and chemistry at the base of human behavior, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Now, in Determined, Sapolsky takes his argument all the way, mounting a brilliant (and in his inimitable way, delightful) full-frontal assault on the pleasant fantasy that there is some separate self telling our biology what to do.

Great dialog on the current state of what we know
Revisado: 10-26-24
Reasonable route through the ups and downs of neuroscience and philosophy. A dancing discussions around free-will and free-won’ts. Does a fair job of depicting the decision detail around responsibility; the billions of years before our next embattled decision. Hopefully the causality of this review will shift the persuasion pendulum, and give it a try.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

Hate how truthful this book is; love the truth it demystifies

Time to listen to it another time. Already changing how I see the world. There’s a lot of knowledge in here.

Why can humans alone invent? In The Pattern Seekers, Cambridge University psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen makes a case that autism is as crucial to our creative and cultural history as the mastery of fire. Indeed, Baron-Cohen argues that autistic people have played a key role in human progress for 70,000 years, from the first tools to the digital revolution. How? Because the same genes that cause autism enable the pattern seeking that is essential to our species' inventiveness.

As an Autistic…
Revisado: 09-13-23
The core premise is good, the idea that autistic individuals (or hyper pattern seekers) can innovate because they are “born to do it”.
However. It feels that the book was intended for neurotypicals. It struggles to dance between “neurodivergents are amazing” but
“the neurotypical should not feel bad”. “Autism has so many disadvantages”, but “Austin also have so many benefits”. “They invent a bunch of stuff, but can’t invent to save themselves out of their parent’s basement”. It’s a collection of small narrative examples.
This dance is quite off putting for me. The facts and specifics are good references, but reads like a nature white paper rather than a thought leading exploration of the topic.

Does nature really make us feel better? The 3-Day Effect takes a look at the science behind why being in the wild can make us happier, healthier, and more creative. Whether it’s rafting down Utah’s Green River, hiking in Utah’s wilderness, or walking through Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC, scientists are finding that the more exposure humans have to nature, the more we can benefit from reduced anxiety, enhanced creativity, and overall well-being.

Preachy

Reads like it’s trying to sell you something. Brings in specialists. Brings in testimonies. Brings in personal story. Asked if you would like it. It worked great for them. Shrug.
