not gonna lie this is fkn dense

but SUPER interesting. All about all of the many things that influence our behaviour, from hormones to culture to genes to prenatal environment to priming. He gets pretty technical but I think this book is pretty good at giving you reminders of what the amygdala and prefrontal cortex etc all are multiple times so you dont get lost. Also, I like the occasional bits of sass interjected. I think he also gives a good and balanced view of what the evidence does and doesnt say, and where it conflicts, also including his own opinions sometimes. It doesnt shy away from slightly touchy topics in a respectful way, which I also liked. 

Highly recommend if you are interested in this stuff, I will pick up his book on free will (suprisingly, his chapter on this did not send me into an existential crisis which is pretty rare! If anything, I am now even more excited to find out if free will is a thing)

Very heartwarming at the end too <3
