Companion Animal Psychology Book Club February 2020
"Sapolsky has created an immensely readable, often hilarious romp through the multiple worlds of psychology, primatology, sociology and neurobiology to explain why we behave the way we do. It is hands-down one of the best books I’ve read in years. I loved it."— Dina Temple-Raston, The Washington Post

by Robert Sapolsky.From the back cover,
“Robert M. Sapolsky’s book is one of the most dazzling tours d’horizon of the science of human behaviour ever attempted. Moving across a range of disciplines, Sapolsky – a neuroscientist and primatologist – uncovers the hidden story of our actions. Undertaking some of our thorniest questions relating to tribalism and xenophobia, hierarchy and competition, and war and peace, Behave is a towering achievement – a majestic synthesis of cutting-edge research and a heroic exploration of why we ultimately do the things we do … for good and for ill.”
