Story
In this delightful, acclaimed bestseller, one of the world’s leading cognitive scientists tackles the workings of the human mind. What makes us rational—and why are we so often irrational? How do we see in three dimensions? What makes us happy, afraid, angry, disgusted, or sexually aroused? Why do we fall in love? And how do we grapple with the imponderables of morality, religion, and consciousness?

Most chapters are brilliant, however a few are far too technical to understand at first go. But definitely very insightful.

Quite helpful to understand human behaviour
Reviewed: 05-26-12
I really liked learning how to interpret human behaviour. However I'd say this book left me longing for more because if mostly looked at body language from the perspective of lying or being honest (as an FBI agent would need to know most). However I'll need to read other books to find out if people like me, are listening to me, and also to interpret daily social behaviours.

The audio is horrible, it sounds like someone made this sitting in his basement. You can hear him moving away from the mic to get something while reading, and one reader actually forgets their script and the audio ends there. Quite a rip off.
