3/ The Brain from Inside Out, Gyorgy Buzsaki
The Brain from Inside Out", written by the renowned neuroscientist György Buzsáki, overturns the traditional approach to neuroscience, proposing to examine the brain starting from its internal functions rather than relying only on interpretation of external responses.

The book dives into the complex interactions between biology, environment, genetics, neuroscience, and psychology to explain why humans act the way they do, both for better and for worse. Sapolsky explores a wide range of topics, from aggression to compassion, from xenophobia to altruism, using real case studies and scientific research.
For those seeking to understand human behavior, "Behave" it is particularly precious. The book offers:
