SWAY: The Irresistible Pull Of Irrational Behavior [audio book]
SWAY: THE IRRESISTIBLE PULL OF IRRATIONAL BEHAVIOR
Ori Brafman and Rom Brafman | English | Audio book | MP3/64Kbps | 202 MB
Recently we have seen plenty of irrational behavior, whether in politics or the world of finance. What makes people act irrationally? In a timely but thin collection of anecdotes and empirical research, the Brafman brothers—Ari (The Starfish and the Spire), a business expert, and Rom, a psychologist—look at sway, the submerged mental drives that undermine rational action, from the desire to avoid loss to a failure to consider all the evidence or to perceive a person or situation beyond the initial impression and the reluctance to alter a plan that isn't working.

When are we responsible for our own actions, and when are we in the grip of biological forces beyond our control? This intriguing question is the scientific province of behavioral biology, a field that explores interactions among the brain, mind, body, and environment that have a surprising influence on how we behave—from the people we fall in love with, to the intensity of our spiritual lives, to the degree of our aggressive impulses. In short, it is the study of how our brains make us the individuals that we are.
Biology and Human Behavior: The Neurological Origins of Individuality, 2nd Edition, is an interdisciplinary approach to this fascinating subject. In 24 lectures, you will investigate how the human brain is sculpted by evolution, constrained or freed by genes, shaped by early experience, modulated by hormones, and otherwise influenced to produce a wide range of behaviors, some of them abnormal. You will see that little can be explained by thinking about any one of these factors alone because some combination of influences is almost always at work.

Handbook of Behavior Genetics
584 pages | Mar 30, 2009 |ISBN:0387767266 | PDF | 8 Mb
Product Description:
Behavior Genetics is an interdisciplinary area combining behavioral sciences and genetics. The study of behavior genetics has been increasingly important as we are getting interested in finding genes of complex behavior disorders with advance in molecular genetic techniques. Therefore, this domain has now become a vast common ground for scientists from very diverse fields including psychology, psychiatry, neurology, endocrinology, biochemistry and genetics. However, there are not many textbooks or references to which students in Behavior Genetics can access for their research and class.
