    When Men Behave Badly by David Buss is a comprehensive exploration of evolutionary psychology that investigates the deep-seated roots of sexual deception, harassment, and interpersonal conflict between sexes.

    “This is from David Buss's Men Behaving Badly. It is one man doing a thousand bad things to women, not a thousand men doing one bad thing to women.”

  3. The master and his emissary

    Iain McGilchrist · at 1:55:01

    The Master and His Emissary by Iain McGilchrist is a profound examination of hemispheric lateralization, exploring how the right and left hemispheres of the brain view reality and process the world differently rather than performing entirely separate functions.

    Discussed
    “So this really great guy called Iain McGilchrist and he wrote a book called The Master and His Emissary, neuroscientist but also a philosopher.”
