资深心理医生李孟潮的荣格自愈心路首秀，彻底揭秘荣格不为人知的人生痛苦、彷徨、超越、重生汲取大师强大的自愈力量，开启深刻、独特而丰盈的成长。精华扩展阅读11组,原创自我疗愈工具3个,附赠荣格一生最重要梦境30个（德、英、中三语原文）。
即使伟大如荣格，依然逃不脱父母婚姻破裂、母亲患精神病、被性骚扰、学渣恐惧……的命运劫难。公开与隐私，荣耀与屈辱，乐与痛，清醒与迷茫，也许你这一生所经历的一切，都曾是荣格所经历的。从相同的起点出发，到底是找寻终极幸福、实现自我，还是始终漂泊彷徨，你的选择是什么？
荣格与你的微妙差别在于，在内心的冲撞浩劫中，他进行自我探索和疗愈，用分析梦、绘画曼陀罗、找寻原型等方式来成就自己的生命故事。
伟大并非人人追逐，但疗愈与成长却因自己而来，因我们本就是自己命运的主宰者。
如同本书中的荣格。
心理大师荣格，之所以广受追捧，至今仍有新作频频发表，奥秘在于他本人象征着两种形象：
其一，象征着追寻灵魂的现代人。从空心青年到巨婴老人，不少现代人丧失人生的意义，呼吸着空虚和焦虑。而荣格几乎从人生的第一场梦开始，就展开其长达 80 余年的内在探索之旅；其二，更象征着受伤疗愈者。传统的疗愈者常常完美无暇、高不可攀，而荣格的一生，更接近于真实的普通人。他自身携带着精神分裂基因，历经无数创伤，但始终在发奋自我疗愈。
荣格的一生，堪称心理学璀璨史，但更是其个人疗愈成长的宝贵全纪录。围绕其人生不同阶段及最重要的30场梦境，本书为你彻底揭秘荣格不为人知的自愈心路。助你直抵大师强大的内在本源，你心灵的独特、深刻及丰盈将由此开启。
1、零阅读门槛，从平民而真实的荣格身上汲取力量
《红书》帮我们窥见荣格神秘多舛的精神世界，只可惜，因神秘而有一定阅读门槛；
《荣格自传》堪称荣格个人意识研究史，是其思想的精彩呈现，但由于缺少与人性相关的内容，导致读者在阅读起来有较大的距离感。
相对于如上的荣格畅销作品，本书的重大特色是，零阅读门槛，亲切亲民。本书通过故事讲述方式，以及文学化语言，帮助读者感受到荣格真实而丰满的人性，及其作为普通人疗伤、成长的强大生命力，在无距离、平视的体验中，照见自己，获得成长。
2、独特的自愈与成长主题，是现代人关注的热点
荣格是伟人，但首先是追求内在疗愈、让自己活好的普通人，其一生的主要命题是自愈与成长。本书看似讲荣格，实际是针对现代人普遍存在的内在创伤、空虚和无意义感，给予疗愈思路及有效技巧的分享。帮助读者从中汲取荣格强大的自愈力量，成长为更完整、和谐及更具生命力的自己。
3、架起荣格思想、治疗技术与普通人应用之间的桥梁，独具实用价值
本书一改荣格以往著作中深奥、晦涩的表达，对其思想及治疗技术做了通俗易懂的介绍，并且通过作者独家设计的多种贴心工具，帮助读者对荣格精粹一看就懂、一学就会，能够切实地改善自己的内心状态，向好的方向转变。

这是一位心理治疗师的回忆录，讲述了发生在诊室中的故事。在这个小小的密闭空间里，人们会展现出最真实、最脆弱的一面；也是在这里，人们获得了陪伴和倾听，也获得了宝贵的觉察、成长与改变。

在书中，我们会看到四个来访者的故事，他们是：

一个四十多岁、事业成功、自以为是，认为身边所有人都是蠢货的好莱坞制片人；

一个三十多岁、刚刚新婚就被诊断出患有绝症，时日不多的大学女教师；

一个六十九岁、离过三次婚，感觉孤独绝望，声称生活再不好转就要在七十岁生日当天自杀的老太太；

一个二十多岁、有原生家庭创伤和酗酒问题，在爱情中频频受挫的姑娘。

同时，书中还有第五个寻求帮助的人，那就是治疗师自己。她是一个单身的职场妈妈，四十多岁时遭遇失恋，几乎崩溃。有朋友对她说“或许你该找个人聊聊”，于是她也给自己找了一位心理治疗师。当她切换到来访者的位置，坐到另一位心理治疗师的沙发上诉说自己内心的脆弱与悲伤，就更能感受到心理治疗为何具有治愈和改变的力量。

这本书从治疗师和来访者的双重视角展现了心理治疗的过程，让我们发现：无论身份背景有多相异，人类面对的烦恼其实都相通——爱与被爱、遗憾、选择、控制、不确定、死亡，这些都是我们身而为人必须共同学习面对的议题。我们在现实生活中所遭遇的切肤之痛和生命困境，都能在这本书中得到共鸣、找到希望。

本书是2019年美国众多媒体推荐的心理自助书——它荣登《纽约时报》《时代》《人物》《综艺》等媒体年度必读书榜单，是美国亚马逊当年度销售TOP10图书、哈佛商学院年度推荐图书，它的有声书版本也是当年Audible非虚构类有声书第一名。刚上市一个月，这本书就冲上了美国亚马逊图书总榜TOP100和《纽约时报》畅销榜；出版两年来，已经在全球授权了四十多个语言版本，总销量超过七十万册，并且正在拍摄电视连续剧，由曾出演《绝望主妇》的知名演员伊娃·朗格利亚担纲主演。

享誉全球的心理学泰斗、美国斯坦福大学精神病学终身荣誉教授欧文·亚隆为这本书写下推荐语：“我读心理治疗的书超过半个世纪了，但从来没见过这样的书：这么大胆、这么直白、这么多好故事，又这么深刻而引人入胜。”

国内知名心理学家李松蔚为这本书担任专业审校，并写下推荐序：“读这本书的过程，就是在灵魂的方寸之地一寸寸探索。越往下，越是晦暗幽深，于无声处听惊雷。”

蛤蟆先生一向爱笑爱闹，如今却一反常态地郁郁寡欢，他一个人躲在屋里，连起床梳洗的力气都没有。朋友们非常担心他，建议他去做心理咨询。在10次心理咨询中，蛤蟆在咨询师苍鹭的带领下，勇敢地探索了自己的内心世界，也逐渐找回了信心与希望……
这并不是一本写给孩子看的书，而是一本非常有深度的心理疗愈读物。出版20多年来，已成为英国国民级心理咨询入门书。它基于TA沟通分析心理学的理论，讲述了一个抑郁症病人通过十次心理咨询，终于找回快乐和自信的全过程。在书中，可以看到心理咨询的倾听、共情、沟通技巧，也可以看到一个标准的心理咨询流程的模板。读者犹如亲临现场，体验心理咨询的每一个细节，见证疗愈和改变的发生。
在这本书里，作者借由蛤蟆和心理咨询师苍鹭的互动，探索了蛤蟆自卑、软弱、爱炫耀的个性与抑郁的情绪究竟来源于何处，让读者看到童年经历对人格的深刻影响，以及如何才能在心理上真正长大成人，独立、自信、充满希望地生活。

▍西方最具影響力的公共知識分子橫空出世之作 ▍
── 全球最突出的現象級大書 ──
★ 半年內銷售200萬冊，多國暢銷榜Top1
★衍生出大量的摘要版及解析版、無數熱門激辯影片
★ 50種語言版本陸續推出中
當討論嚴肅生存問題的YouTube頻道，也能擊敗網紅，創下3千5百萬點閱率；當心理學結合哲學及神學的著作成為全球暢銷書，我們知道，現代人需要的，不是虛假的勵志、無法帶來真實改變的安慰，而是直率到近乎殘酷地剖開生存的真相，讓我們看清人類這個物種有多麼擅長輕賤自己、傷害他人，也知道這一切不是無法改變。而解決之道，就藏在生物幾近永恆的演化史、人類亙古以來的集體智慧，以及嶄新的科學成果中。
作者試圖為這價值混亂的當代生活開出解方，處理人類受苦的問題。受苦來自一己的局限及不完美，也來自外界社會的嚴苛和評斷。然而，這一切並不是毫無意義。事實是，人類並不會因為完美而感到幸福。
「除非看到自己正在進步，否則我們不會快樂。」
我們比誰都能看清自己的殘缺、軟弱，也比誰都為自己的不符合理想厭棄自己，然而正是這樣的不足，給了我們目標，而目標的追求則給我們生存下去的意義。我們正是踏在混亂和秩序的那條交界上，一步步向前完成自己── 一開始就到達目標的生命，不值得活。
混亂在哪裡？混亂在霸凌、壓迫，然而作者也解釋了階級結構等社會特性是如何在演化的長河中浮現，這些特性又如何幫助人類生存。他舉龍蝦為例，龍蝦這成功在地球上存活了幾億年的古老生物，跟人類的共同點比我們所能想到的還要多，而且由於神經系統相對簡單，因此科學家能夠精確勘測龍蝦的神經電路，這有助於了解大腦的結構與功能。龍蝦就有階級結構──戰勝的龍蝦取得一切，戰敗的龍蝦腦部基本上會逐漸消失，重新長出劣勢者的腦，並分泌較低的血清素和較高的章魚胺，以適應新的劣勢者地位：變得不好鬥（膽怯、垂頭喪氣、躲躲藏藏），只需要少量刺激就會觸發逃跑的反射動作（罹患創傷後壓力症的士兵或受虐兒童典型的高度驚嚇反應）。
作者由此展開，用《創世記》裡最古老的人類故事講出人類這個物種自我輕賤、為惡的本質，以及追求超越的神聖形象，一路往下到心理學中的集體潛意識、哲學中的存在主義、文學中的邊緣人格，旁及道家的陰陽思想，以及作者在嚴寒、充滿歧視的生長環境中求生存的親身體驗──「我們知道懼怕和痛苦會如何打擊我們，因此也知道如何用別人的缺失來傷害、羞辱別人。然而，也正因如此，人類不分全體或個體都該得到一些憐憫…… 要治療人類的自覺所帶來的自我輕賤，最適當的處方正是憐憫，因為人類固然有理由自我輕賤，但那只傳遞出故事的一半真相。我們必須平衡掉自己對自我和人類的憎惡，而那有賴我們對傳統心存感激，並為平凡人在日常生活中的成就（更別說真正傑出者的卓越成就）感到驚奇。」
人類的基因、大腦、生理和心理現狀，都是在漫長的生存奮鬥史中形塑而出。所謂生存法則，正是生物一路努力至今的成就。而作者讓我們知道，如果沒有愛的關係、智慧的傳統，或是心理學的洞見的幫助，單一個人要處理自身受苦的問題，會是多麼孤獨、偏頗又困難。但他也讓我們知道，在面對受苦的問題時，人是可以從個人的、內在的層面，生發出力量去改變困境。
改變厭棄自己的現況，建立生命的架構，從實踐12條法則做起──
．龍蝦的腦神經系統告訴我們哪些關於抬頭挺胸和成功生命的訊息？
．為什麼亞伯那麼令上帝滿意，上帝卻讓他死去？
．為什我們可以輕易揪出小型謊言，卻不由自主相信大型謊言？
．為什麼小孩玩滑板時，不要干擾他們？
．為什麼在街上看到貓（狗也可以），不妨過去拍一拍？
讓我們一起加入這場全球對生存的討論！
心理學、生物學的嶄新發現＋哲學、神學的深刻探索，
幫助我們找到穩定踏立的堅實地面，
面對自己的脆弱、惰性及自我輕賤，也面對外界的惡意和批評。

文章一開始的故事，原本讀來覺得平凡無奇。不料行文峰迴路轉，犀利又充滿文化和知識底蘊的觀點從平凡的事實中破繭而出，讓人眼睛為之一亮。
最後的結果是：讓人心悅誠服去遵守作者提出的生活／生存規則，甚至覺得自己的細微改變、一舉手一投足都充滿智慧和知識的重量。作者在陳述人類疾病時帶到的知識，也能給人意外的亮光。

社会影响无处不在。我们是如何受到影响的？为什么我们要接受信息，或者换句话说，信息对我们有什么好处？什么样的社会动机使我们容易受到他人的想法、言论和行为的影响？哪些因素会增加或减少社会信息的有效性？哪些因素增加或减少了社会影响力的持久性？一个人是怎样喜欢上另外一个人的？是否通过同样的心理过程，我们选择了普通麦片而不是即食麦片？一个人如何对某个民族、某种宗教或种族群体产生偏见？偏见与喜欢类似？还是恰恰相反，涉及一套完全不同的心理过程？
许多人对会对诸如此类的问题感兴趣。因为我们都花费了大量的时间与其他人交流——受他人的影响；影响他人；高兴、开心、悲伤、厌恶、沮丧，或者被激怒——我们的天性就是对人们为什么做他们所做的事情提出假设。从这个意义上说，我们每个人都是业余的社会心理学家。尽管大多数业余社会心理学家在与他人互动时会对这些假设进行检验，并达到他们自己的满意程度，但这些偶然的“检验”缺乏细致的科学研究所具有的严谨性和公正性。
在第12版中，作者重新梳理了每一章，删除了一些几年前所谓的热点研究和理论，它们没有经受住时间和重复研究的考验。他们对每一章内容进行了重组和精简，以便在整合新材料时保持叙述的清晰性。最近的研究为我们理解当下发生的事件提供了信息——例如，互联网是如何导致我们的决策过程变得更好或更糟，信息泡沫的出现以及自我确认的媒体来源如何塑造这个国家两极化的信仰和行为，脸书和微信上不断出现的社会对比负面情绪，以及伊拉克和大叙利亚伊斯兰国（ISIS）等恐怖组织的崛起。当然，将一本书“更新”并不意味着要删掉美国政府在越南和伊拉克问题上的错误案例，以及琼斯镇、哥伦拜恩、天堂之门之类的悲剧。这些事件是很久以前发生的，但其中隐含的社会心理教训却没有被很好地吸取。希望学生们能够理解，当时发生的这些事情同样适用于解释当下发生的事情。

What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research.
Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.
What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant, and vengeful? Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure, and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith, and human nature while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its listeners.

▋内容简介
本书深入洞察了人类经验复杂性的核心话题“偏见与歧视”，是哈佛大学心理学家、当代社会心理学奠基人之一、人格心理学之父戈登•奥尔波特里程碑式的著作。
在本书出版之前，心理学界普遍认为“偏见”只是个别的，品德有缺陷的个体所持有的恶劣信念，只要大多数善良的好公民与这些“害群之马”划清界限，就可以把偏见的影响降到最低。而奥尔波特以雄辩的论述和大量来自实证研究的数据证明了，偏见要比人们想象得普遍很多；它是人类认知结构和社会组织形态的必然产物，而想要解决偏见造成的问题，就需要探究和改变其深层根源。
奥尔波特全面而深刻的研究揭示了“偏见”这一由来已久的问题的方方面面：它在个人身上的根源是什么，社会心理学层面的根源又在哪里；它的表现形式都有哪些；它对个体和群体又有着哪些影响，等等。奥尔波特探究了偏见与不同社会环境和社会变量之间关系的类型，并进一步提出了关于如何减少歧视和偏见所带来的不良影响的建议。
自1954年在美国首次出版以来，《偏见的本质》就一直是这个领域奠基性的权威著作，即使是数十年后的今天，虽然关于偏见的细化研究比起当时已经有了极大的进步，但奥尔波特这本经典著作仍然不减其魅力，始终是所有社会心理学研究者的案头必读之书。

No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.
If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.
Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field.
Learn how to:
* make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy);
* overcome a lack of motivation and willpower;
* design your environment to make success easier;
* get back on track when you fall off course;
...and much more.
Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.

In the tradition of The Power of Habit and Thinking, Fast and Slow comes a practical, playful, and endlessly fascinating guide to what we really know about learning and memory today—and how we can apply it to our own lives.
From an early age, it is drilled into our heads: Restlessness, distraction, and ignorance are the enemies of success. We’re told that learning is all self-discipline, that we must confine ourselves to designated study areas, turn off the music, and maintain a strict ritual if we want to ace that test, memorize that presentation, or nail that piano recital.
But what if almost everything we were told about learning is wrong? And what if there was a way to achieve more with less effort?
In How We Learn, award-winning science reporter Benedict Carey sifts through decades of education research and landmark studies to uncover the truth about how our brains absorb and retain information. What he discovers is that, from the moment we are born, we are all learning quickly, efficiently, and automatically; but in our zeal to systematize the process we have ignored valuable, naturally enjoyable learning tools like forgetting, sleeping, and daydreaming. Is a dedicated desk in a quiet room really the best way to study? Can altering your routine improve your recall? Are there times when distraction is good? Is repetition necessary? Carey’s search for answers to these questions yields a wealth of strategies that make learning more a part of our everyday lives—and less of a chore.
By road testing many of the counterintuitive techniques described in this book, Carey shows how we can flex the neural muscles that make deep learning possible. Along the way he reveals why teachers should give final exams on the first day of class, why it’s wise to interleave subjects and concepts when learning any new skill, and when it’s smarter to stay up late prepping for that presentation than to rise early for one last cram session. And if this requires some suspension of disbelief, that’s because the research defies what we’ve been told, throughout our lives, about how best to learn.
The brain is not like a muscle, at least not in any straightforward sense. It is something else altogether, sensitive to mood, to timing, to circadian rhythms, as well as to location and environment. It doesn’t take orders well, to put it mildly. If the brain is a learning machine, then it is an eccentric one. In How We Learn, Benedict Carey shows us how to exploit its quirks to our advantage.

● 在20 世纪，笛卡尔推崇的身心二元论占据主流。二元论拒绝承认情绪在理性决策中的作用，认为情绪是理性思考的杂音。然而，既是临床医生又是神经科学家的达马西奥，提出了截然相反的观点，认为人类的理性决策离不开对身体情绪状态的感受。这一论断简单却有力，从根本上颠覆了支配西方几百年的身心二元论。自《笛卡尔的错误》出版以来，西方世界的哲学思想发生了根本性的转折。
● 在《笛卡尔的错误》中，达马西奥教授通过丰富的临床案例，令人信服地证明了情绪在人类理性决策中的重要作用。他提出的躯体标记假设，为身心之间的联结提供了当代科学的确证，把虚无缥缈的心智转变为具体可感的实在之物。为我们思考人类的理性和意识，开辟了一条全新的认识路径。
● 书中丰富的临床案例和富有洞见的理论假设，共同为我们带来一场人类意识探索的盛宴。达马西奥教授带领我们抽丝剥茧、层层深入，带领我们走进人类理性的深层结构之中。

The habits and attitudes associated with critical thinking are transferable to consumer, medical, legal, and general ethical choices. When our surgeon says surgery is needed, it can be life sustaining to seek answers to the critical questions encouraged in Asking the Right Questions This popular book helps bridge the gap between simply memorizing or blindly accepting information, and the greater challenge of critical analysing the things we are told and read. It gives strategies for responding to alternative points of view and will help readers develop a solid foundation for making personal choices about what to accept and what to reject.

With a new preface by the author, this reissue of Thomas Sowell's classic study of decision making updates his seminal work in the context of The Vision of the Anointed . Sowell, one of America's most celebrated public intellectuals, describes in concrete detail how knowledge is shared and disseminated throughout modern society. He warns that society suffers from an ever-widening gap between firsthand knowledge and decision making -- a gap that threatens our very freedom because actual knowledge gets replaced by assumptions based on an abstract and elitist social vision of what ought to be. Knowledge and Decisions , a winner of the 1980 Law and Economics Center Prize, was heralded as a "landmark work" and selected for this prize "because of its cogent contribution to our understanding of the differences between the market process and the process of government." In announcing the award, the center acclaimed Sowell, whose "contribution to our understanding of the process of regulation alone would make the book important, but in reemphasizing the diversity and efficiency that the market makes possible, [his] work goes deeper and becomes even more significant." "In a wholly original manner [Sowell] succeeds in translating abstract and theoretical argument into a highly concrete and realistic discussion of the central problems of contemporary economic policy." --F. A. Hayek "This is a brilliant book. Sowell illuminates how every society operates. In the process he also shows how the performance of our own society can be improved." --Milton Friedman

A groundbreaking investigation of the brain’s hidden logic behind our strangest behaviors, and of how conscious and unconscious systems interact in order to create our experience and preserve our sense of self.
From bizarre dreams and hallucinations to schizophrenia and multiple personalities, the human brain is responsible for a diverse spectrum of strange thoughts and behaviors. When observed from the outside, these phenomena are often written off as being just “crazy,” but what if they were actually planned and logical?
NeuroLogic explores the brain’s internal system of reasoning, from its unconscious depths to conscious decision making, and illuminates how it explains our most outlandish as well as our most stereotyped behaviors. From sleepwalking murderers, contagious yawning, and the brains of sports fans to false memories, subliminal messages, and the secret of ticklishness, Dr. Eliezer Sternberg shows that there are patterns to the way the brain interprets the world—–patterns that fit the brain’s unique logic. Unraveling these patterns and the various ways they can be disturbed will not only alter our view of mental illness and supernatural experience, but will also shed light on the hidden parts of ourselves.

In this groundbreaking union of art and science, rocker-turned-neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin explores the connection between musicits performance, its composition, how we listen to it, why we enjoy itand the human brain. Drawing on the latest research and on musical examples ranging from Mozart to Duke Ellington to Van Halen, Levitin reveals:
How composers produce some of the most pleasurable effects of listening to music by exploiting the way our brains make sense of the world
Why we are so emotionally attached to the music we listened to as teenagers, whether it was Fleetwood Mac, U2, or Dr. Dre
That practice, rather than talent, is the driving force behind musical expertise
How those insidious little jingles (called earworms ) get stuck in our heads
And, taking on prominent thinkers who argue that music is nothing more than an evolutionary accident, Levitin argues that music is fundamental to our species, perhaps even more so than language. This Is Your Brain on Music is an unprecedented, eye-opening investigation into an obsession at the heart of human nature.

"The last great mystery for science," consciousness has become a controversial topic. Consciousness: A Very Short Introduction challenges readers to reconsider key concepts such as personality, free will, and the soul. How can a physical brain create our experience of the world? What creates our identity? Do we really have free will? Could consciousness itself be an illusion? Exciting new developments in brain science are opening up these debates, and the field has now expanded to include biologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers. This book clarifies the potentially confusing arguments and clearly describes the major theories, with illustrations and lively cartoons to help explain the experiments. Topics include vision and attention, theories of self, experiments on action and awareness, altered states of consciousness, and the effects of brain damage and drugs. This lively, engaging, and authoritative book provides a clear overview of the subject that combines the perspectives of philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience--and serves as a much-needed launch pad for further exploration of this complicated and unsolved issue.

About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

Why do we do the things we do?
More than a decade in the making, this game-changing book is Robert Sapolsky’s genre-shattering attempt to answer that question as fully as perhaps only he could, looking at it from every angle. 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.
And so the first category of explanation is the neurobiological one. A behavior occurs–whether an example of humans at our best, worst, or somewhere in between. What went on in a person’s brain a second before the behavior happened? Then Sapolsky pulls out to a slightly larger field of vision, a little earlier in time: What sight, sound, or smell caused the nervous system to produce that behavior? And then, what hormones acted hours to days earlier to change how responsive that individual is to the stimuli that triggered the nervous system? By now he has increased our field of vision so that we are thinking about neurobiology and the sensory world of our environment and endocrinology in trying to explain what happened.
Sapolsky keeps going: How was that behavior influenced by structural changes in the nervous system over the preceding months, by that person’s adolescence, childhood, fetal life, and then back to his or her genetic makeup? Finally, he expands the view to encompass factors larger than one individual. How did culture shape that individual’s group, what ecological factors millennia old formed that culture? And on and on, back to evolutionary factors millions of years old.
The result is one of the most dazzling tours d’horizon of the science of human behavior ever attempted, a majestic synthesis that harvests cutting-edge research across a range of disciplines to provide a subtle and nuanced perspective on why we ultimately do the things we do…for good and for ill. Sapolsky builds on this understanding to wrestle with some of our deepest and thorniest questions relating to tribalism and xenophobia, hierarchy and competition, morality and free will, and war and peace. Wise, humane, often very funny, Behave is a towering achievement, powerfully humanizing, and downright heroic in its own right.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Unabashedly inspired by Malcolm Gladwell's bestselling The Tipping Point, the brothers Heath—Chip a professor at Stanford's business school, Dan a teacher and textbook publisher—offer an entertaining, practical guide to effective communication. Drawing extensively on psychosocial studies on memory, emotion and motivation, their study is couched in terms of "stickiness"—that is, the art of making ideas unforgettable. They start by relating the gruesome urban legend about a man who succumbs to a barroom flirtation only to wake up in a tub of ice, victim of an organ-harvesting ring. What makes such stories memorable and ensures their spread around the globe? The authors credit six key principles: simplicity, unexpectedness, concreteness, credibility, emotions and stories. (The initial letters spell out "success"—well, almost.) They illustrate these principles with a host of stories, some familiar (Kennedy's stirring call to "land a man on the moon and return him safely to the earth" within a decade) and others very funny (Nora Ephron's anecdote of how her high school journalism teacher used a simple, embarrassing trick to teach her how not to "bury the lead"). Throughout the book, sidebars show how bland messages can be made intriguing. Fun to read and solidly researched, this book deserves a wide readership. (Jan. 16)

From Booklist
Based on a class at Stanford taught by one of the authors, this book profiles how some ideas "stick" in our minds while the majority fall by the wayside. Urban legends, conspiracy theories, and compelling advertising make up much of the intrinsically interesting examples that the Heaths profile that qualify for "stickiness." This book explores what makes social epidemics "epidemic" and, as the Heaths cite from Malcolm Gladwell's Tipping Point (2000), defines the secret recipe that makes an idea viral. The principles of stickiness are examined--an unexpected outcome, lots of concrete details that we remember, emotion, simplicity, and credibility--all packaged in an easily told story format. Taking these five stickiness attributes, the book offers numerous examples of how these properties make up the stories we are all familiar with--the urban legend about kidney theft and the razor blades supposedly lurking in Halloween candy. Exercises, checklists, and other tools are sprinkled throughout the book to help the reader understand and test how stickiness can be applied to their ideas, whether they are teachers, parents, or CEOs.
