DISCOVER WHAT SCIENCE NOW KNOWS THAT HELPS US UNDERSTAND: • What successful executives, courageous fighter pilots, and high-rolling gamblers share: How the thrill we get from performing under pressure is one key to our survival-and sometimes a path to self-destruction • What governments and cults have in common: How our passion for ideas and our ability to work together in groups give rise to the best and worst in human thinking and behavior • Why eyes rove, diets fail, and money burns holes in our pockets: How the "wired-in" love of novelty that helps us thrive in unpredictable situations causes even rewarding pursuits and people to lose their appeal over time Take a close look at the auction images for details of contents and condition.
