Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 773
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.

Injecting partisan politics into neuroscience is useless and counterproductive
Revisado: 09-26-24
I’ve been a fan of the author for years but this book borders on obnoxious. Scoring cheap political points through neuroscience is beyond unacceptable and very annoying. Not to mention the meandering narrative. “Free Will” by Sam Harris will get you to the same place as this book in a quarter of the time and it was written before Sam had his brain melted by the orange man so it doesn’t ooze with virtue signaling.

Since the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision in 2015, sexual identity has dominated both public discourse and cultural trends — yet no historical phenomenon is its own cause. From Augustine to Marx, various views and perspectives have contributed to the modern understanding of the self.

Build a straw man and fight it
Revisado: 12-27-22
As I continue to listen to this book, it's clear that it was never intended to change anyone's point of view or even take the time to pursue a good-faith understanding of the author's opposition.
I picked up this book because I wanted a better understanding of the socially conservative types for the sake of having a more productive dialogue. While my intent was to understand and empathize with people I disagree with, the author of this book had no such intention.
As I come near the end of the book, I realize that what I have invested my time into is a disconnected intellectual making simple ideas and history more complex in order to stroke himself off, intellectually. This book is written explicitly for those who already agree with what it has to say and find no value in challenging it.
I came into this book hoping to have my ideas challenged. This book isn't capable of doing that.

Alan changed my perspective

In Psychonomics, Morse uses captivating stories to bring to life the often mystifying world of behavioral psychology. We hear tales of beautiful fashion models and brilliant finance models, of MVP quarterbacks and GDP architects. In all of these stories, Morse shows how modern science uses the most advanced techne and experiments to defeat the human mind, and, ultimately, how the mind wins.

Not. Good.

Was kind of excited. Should have read more reviews. Research is weak and outdated. Tries to surprise you with common knowledge
