About this listen
Every day of your life is spent surrounded by mysteries that involve what appear to be rather ordinary human behaviors. What makes you happy? Where did your personality come from? Why do you have trouble controlling certain behaviors? Why do you behave differently as an adult than you did as an adolescent?
Since the start of recorded history, and probably even before, people have been interested in answering questions about why we behave the way we do. And many fields - including philosophy, psychology, and even theology - are focused on finding explanations. But it's only in recent decades that researchers can finally approach, understand, and solve the mysteries of emotion, thought, and behavior - solutions that help each of us to better know ourselves and the people around us. The result is not only a more solid understanding of what it means to be human, but a stronger foundation from which to live more effectively with others and to grasp their intricate behaviors and quirks.
Now you can gain those benefits through a series of 24 intriguing lectures from an award-winning teacher. Professor Leary takes you on a fascinating journey into the complex heart of who you are, using the latest theories, case studies, experiments, and stories to cast light on a wide variety of human behaviors, both ordinary and puzzling.
Throughout these lectures, you'll learn about the various interacting forces that influence your behavior. These include your genetic blueprint, your personal experiences, your upbringing, and the people and social groups that surround you.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Exceeded my positive expectations
I read some reviews for this audiobook, saw the star rating and knew it was going to be good. However, I didnt realise how good it would be. Such simple and easy to follow examples of the different areas of behaviour, I found it absolutely fascinating. It wont be long until I listen to this allover again, next time taking some notes of some key areas. Excellent to the level that I could be bothered to write a review!

Totally enjoyable. Narrator's voice was pleasant.
Totally enjoyable. Narrator's voice was pleasant. Encourages listening and reasoning. Keeps your mind at ease about normal human behaviour that makes you question your mentality.
Thumbs up

A guide to yourself
Understand the nature of where human behaviour comes from to understand yourself. Makes it easier to relate to your own emotions
