There is a lot of information in this book and a lot to process. The gist of it is that dopamine is the molecule that drives our decisions and action, and that many times we have little control over it. I liked how the author uses many real life examples from everyday life and politics. The book helps with self-introspection, encouraging you to analyze where your dissatisfaction or unhappiness stems from, and whether you can do something about it. Continue reading

This is not a book you can casually read before bed—at least not for me. It’s filled with a wealth of information on neuroscience, psychology, studies conducted, papers published, and more. It was very interesting, and I learned so much from it. It took me a while to read, as I had many interruptions, which meant I had to go back and reread several chapters. The book is about why we behave the way we do—what makes us congenial, aggressive, possessive, or averse. Continue reading
