Kritik
"The book provides clear and accessible definitions of complex concepts captured in behavioral theories and models ... . This book is a nice read for a wide variety of minds, tastes, and training, with something to offer everyone in terms of entertainment, helping to better understand one's self and others, and providing a valuable collection of scientific, artistic, and popular resources on the matter of how our minds work." (Shabnam Mousavi, Journal of Bioeconomics, Vol. 19 (2), January, 2017)

"Jerome Boutang and Michel De Lara explore how evolution shaped our psychology, in an attempt to unravel what makes people 'tick'. ... subjects are most interesting, and laymen will find a lot of food for thought to munch on. ... . I really enjoyed the pace and the authors' voices - direct, humorous and very reader friendly. ... There also some very fun quizzes and exercises that you can take to test how biased you are, which nicely add to engagement." (Tibi Puiu, zmescience.com, November, 2015)mehr
