Unleash Your Primal Brain: Demystifying How We Think and Why We Act by Tim Ash
Understand what makes us human!
Unleash Your Primal Brain is about the commonalities all 8,000,000,000 people on earth share.
Our ancestors were molded by ruthless survival pressures from the earliest days of life on the planet. Adaptations which worked long ago are still inside of us – also shared with insects and reptiles. Later additions are common to all mammals from the tiniest shrews to the most massive whales. Some capabilities were bolted on relatively recently and are only shared with our primate cousins. And the runaway explosion of humans on the planet can only be explained by our own bizarre species-level evolution.
The only way to understand how our brains work is to examine the complete evolutionary arc.
The lie of rationality
The big picture of brain evolution
How we learn and remember
The chemistry of happiness
The power of pain
Demystifying risk
Safer in the herd
Good night, sweet dreams
Monkey see, monkey do
Big babies
Sexy apes
Let me tell you a story
How we evolved to be cultural creatures
Ownership, fairness, and favors
Conformity and integrity
Get ready, it’s going to be a wild ride with Unleash Your Primal Brain!
