Behave sapolsky audiobook5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: he starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy.Īnd so the first category of explanation is the neurobiological one. ![]() Named a Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journalįrom the celebrated neurobiologist and primatologist, a landmark, genre-defining examination of human behavior, both good and bad, and an answer to the question: Why do we do the things we do?

But that doesn’t mean she still hasn’t been trying, like always, to land me the “next big gig.” And today we’ve got a show. ![]() She has a job now too, at the diner down the road, so we’ve usually got enough leftover hash browns and day-old donuts to keep us fed. I suppose I should be grateful for the four-week break with no shows along the lake. I can still feel the terrible panic, hear the confused voices of the crowd, and see Mom trying to gather our money and run. It’s been a month since our last show and my most recent episode.

This work, in its current shape consisting of 33 chapters, is traditionally divided into three parts: the first, known as the "Inner Chapters", consists of the first seven chapters the second, known as the "Outer Chapters", consist of the next 15 chapters the last, known as the "Mixed Chapters", consist of the remaining 11 chapters. ![]() ![]() Zhuangzi is traditionally credited as the author of at least part of the work bearing his name, the Zhuangzi.
