What's it about?

Few scientists explain the human animal as vividly as Robert Sapolsky. This collection brings together the books of the Stanford neurobiologist, spanning stress, the biology of behaviour and the question of free will. From why chronic stress makes us sick to what shapes our best and worst actions, and his argument that free will is an illusion, discover how biology helps explain who we are and why we act as we do.
