Every day of your life is spent surrounded by mysteries that involve what appear to be rather ordinary human behaviors. What makes you happy? Where did your personality come from? Why do you have trouble controlling certain behaviors? Why do you behave differently as an adult than you did as an adolescent?
Since the start of recorded history, and probably even before, people have been interested in answering questions about why we behave the way we do. And many fields - including philosophy, psychology, and even theology - are focused on finding explanations. But it's only in recent decades that researchers can finally approach, understand, and solve the mysteries of emotion, thought, and behavior - solutions that help each of us to better know ourselves and the people around us. The result is not only a more solid understanding of what it means to be human, but a stronger foundation from which to live more effectively with others and to grasp their intricate behaviors and quirks.
Now you can gain those benefits through a series of 24 intriguing lectures from an award-winning teacher. Professor Leary takes you on a fascinating journey into the complex heart of who you are, using the latest theories, case studies, experiments, and stories to cast light on a wide variety of human behaviors, both ordinary and puzzling.
Throughout these lectures, you'll learn about the various interacting forces that influence your behavior. These include your genetic blueprint, your personal experiences, your upbringing, and the people and social groups that surround you.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

No skill is more important in today's world than being able to think about, understand, and act on information in an effective and responsible way. What's more, at no point in human history have we had access to so much information, with such relative ease, as we do in the 21st century. But because misinformation out there has increased as well, critical thinking is more important than ever. These 24 rewarding lectures equip you with the knowledge and techniques you need to become a savvier, sharper critical thinker in your professional and personal life.

Language defines us as a species, placing humans head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators. But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.

Hardly a day goes by that we don’t hear about someone committing a violent, reprehensible, even evil, act. And each time it happens, before we know anything about the circumstances, we are already sure of one thing: We are nothing like that perpetrator. But how can we be so sure? After all, we are all human. In Understanding the Dark Side of Human Nature, Professor Daniel Breyer takes us on a fascinating philosophical journey into many of the deepest and darkest questions that have engaged humanity for millennia.

Your nervous system is you. All the thoughts, perceptions, moods, passions, and dreams that make you an active, sentient being are the work of this amazing network of cells. For many centuries, people knew this was true. But no one was sure how it happened. Now, thanks to the exciting new field of neuroscience, we can chart the workings of the brain and the rest of the nervous system in remarkable detail to explain how neurons, synapses, neurotransmitters, and other biological processes produce all the experiences of everyday life, in every stage of life.

One of the most complicated and advanced computers on Earth can't be purchased in any store. This astonishing device, responsible for storing and retrieving vast quantities of information that can be accessed at a moment's notice, is the human brain. How does such a dynamic and powerful machine make memories, learn a language, and remember how to drive a car? What habits can we adopt in order to learn more effectively throughout our lives? The answers to these questions are merely the tip of the iceberg in The Learning Brain.

Extremely interesting
Halten Sie die Hörbuch-Ausgabe von Understanding the Mysteries of Human Behavior für besser als das Buch?
PDF datei wird mitgeliefert, ich finde es aber angenehm das buch beim joggen, spülen oder einfach so zum entspannen zu hören.
Was mochten Sie an der Handlung am liebsten?
detailierte analyse verschiedener emotionen, logischer aufbau der lektionen der zu tieferem verständnis führt
Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?
Streng genommen müsste ich dem sprecher 4* geben, da er auch der autor und professor ist tue ich das nicht. es gibt bessere leser aber auch viel schlechtere. mir ist sein vorlesstil nicht besonders aufgefallen.

Annoying speaker spoils all the fun
Was braucht dieses Hörbuch, um für Sie zu einem 4- oder 5-Sterne Hörerlebnis zu werden?
It's a nice idea to record the lectures of renowned professors. Unfortunately Professor Leary is lisping quite strongly. Combined with the pronounciation of the english th this is so annoying that I could not concentrate on the content. His narratives are quite boring, he's repetitive and speaks way too slow. Plus long pauses. Even listening to it at 1.5x speed did not help. I'd be very interested in the content because I assume that he's a very good researcher. But I just can't listen to that audiobook.

intersecting but tue author uses general knowledge ed examples, like why we blush, why we laugh.
Maybe I need to listen to it again, but I was hoping for something a bit more researched. Its nice to know why we laugh or blush, but that is not why I bought the audio book.
