New York Times bestseller ? Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize ? One of the Washington Post's 10 Best Books of the Year

"It's no exaggeration to say that Behave is one of the best nonfiction books I've ever read." -- David P. Barash, The Wall Street Journal

"It has my vote for science book of the year." -- Parul Sehgal, The New York Times

"Immensely readable, often hilarious... Hands-down one of the best books I've read in years. I loved it." -- Dina Temple-Raston, The Washington Post

From the bestselling author of A Primate's Memoir and the forthcoming Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will comes a landmark, genre-defining examination of human behavior and an answer to the question: Why do we do the things we do?

Behave is one of the most dazzling tours d'horizon of the science of human behavior ever attempted. Moving across a range of disciplines, Sapolsky -- a neuroscientist and primatologist -- uncovers the hidden story of our actions. Undertaking some of our thorniest questions relating to tribalism and xenophobia, hierarchy and competition, and war and peace, Behave is a towering achievement -- a majestic synthesis of cutting-edge research and a heroic exploration of why we ultimately do the things we do... for good and for ill.
