His pace and method of teaching is incredible.

Everyone should hear this man speak.
Highly recommend his Stanford lecture series on human behaviour. Life changing.

i ve been listening to him on yt since i was studying psychology. 6 years gone by and now im in the field of neuroscience finally being able to fully appreciate what he is saying. He organizes a bunch of research and connects it so well in his speech while still seeming a little chaotic, just enough to keep us engaged

[MicahBuzanMUSIC]

Robert Sapolsky can talk about the most distressing subject matter and still manage to chill me out. There's something about how he talks that is very calming.

This man is by far my favourite neurobiologist!

[mustafaceren]

I got more inspiration than I did in an entire term of university. One of the most productive 36 minutes of my life.

[jenvelasquez]

Dr Sapolsky you are so captivating! Truly a blessing listening to you.

I've just read his books and I can recognize his enormous knowledge of his field.. He is a extraordinary and phenominal educater, neurobiologist and psychiatrist. His lecture always a worth while to learn and very helpful to understand. Thanks to yourube, I can have a benefit to watch his lecture even though I don't have any other route to attend his lecture far from a distance with my residence.

I saw a same video where he said the same introduction, it's still amazing nonetheless. I binge watch this guy's lectures on standford's youtube channel. Good lord.

[barryfield]

I am fascinated by his teachings. The frontal cortex is the most interesting. Why we do what we do. Thanks for posting this.

[chriscockrell]

This looks interesting. I love how he point out all these personal contrdictions of ideology and philosophy in an obvious way. Politics and Prose.

[XxCherylCravenXx]

SIR you are absolutely INCREDIBLE. There is literally nothing available in my already limited vocabulary to articulate what I wish I could. Ty on every heartfelt level x

[anthonyvalenti]

Until I listened to this, I had no idea how much there is to know, and that one person could know it. Not sure why, but this guy makes me feel hopeful. Smart guys like him usually don't do that to me.

Before studying any other science, the understanding of what human knowledge is built up from, is an essential part of learning to learn, inherent limitations and predispositions.

[unpossible]

Fascinating lecture! Clears up many misconceptions about human behavior based on genetics, gender and culture.

[elmerdsbaddays]

i really enjoy listening to this man. good speaker.

COMMENT: Wow! No comment; due to too much to think and rethink about. This no comment is intended as a complement. Thanking Prof. Robert Sapolsky for all his long hours of study and thought...

[jakalamanewtown]

Magnifcent, but and yet manageable for listening, to a master such as knows just about all you could conceive to know as important for human beings.

[Saylorsmomsam]

I absorbed and retained every bit of this lecture. Wow.

[BenState]

The Prof's info is at a rate and density that is astounding!
