6 Key Lessons from BEHAVE by Robert Sapolsky

This week we review the book Behave by Robert Sapolsky. A great summary of where we are at and what we know today about human behavior. I share my key takeaways and lessons from "Behave: the biology of humans at our best and worst" and summarize the most valuable findings. Behave is a thick book. Deeply complex. But also rewarding for the reader that spends time with it. This is one of my favorite popular science books of all time.

Video topics:
-Frontal Cortex and Willpower
-Habitation
-Delayed gratification
-Alcohol, testosterone and violence
-Hunger and judgement
-How can we implement what we learn from books like BEHAVE

I haven't read the book so thank you for your synopsis on it. Now I'm intrigued. My first question is why book the appointment after lunch why not take them to lunch. Make sure they ate right and they're going to be content.

I like your reference to complicated as human beings are. One of the things I would say about Robert is that he is very expoundedtory and he brings you great understanding. Thank you so very much I really appreciate you

Harvard’s YouTube channel has a series of lectures by this professor, it’s so interesting

Such a FUCKING exciting book! Also the six-pack parrot was awesome:)

Thank you. I also enjoy his work. Whenever he gets into the free will subject I often have the suspicion that is trying to challenge his readers and force them to think...to use that cortex. Perhaps he is not convinced of the concept himself. At any rate, I am grateful for his work.

This is a great promotional video about the book.

Great review! I want to pick this one up. It’s definitely a book that would interest me.

[a.g.]

I've seen some lectures of behavioral biology and a couple of speeches/interviews, I enjoyed them veery much. Dr. Sapolsky seemed stuck with the philosophical consequences of the absence of free will derived from his 30+ years of professional experience. Tremendous piece of man really. I think we need to give us a little of faith in free will, otherwise we're going to be all very depressed 😃 Thanks for your opinion, I'll definitely read this.

Great review man! I am roughly 1/3rd of the book through... but I'd seen Dr. Sapolsky's Stanford Lectures already, so I know most of it, or atleast the crux of the book :)

[yeyevasquez]

[BookMattic]

How would you compare this one to the laws of human nature? I've seen it around, but didn't realize the topic sounds quite similar

[senpaitm]

Awesome! But how come animals don't delay gratification if they save food before hibernation?

[Kangoo]

did you have any background in neuroscience, hormone or genetic biology before reading this book ? I found it hard to understand the first chapters.
