Interesting collection of research about how our brain works when we learn and make choices. Good advice on when to reason out a choice and when to go with your gut.

A very interesting and educational journey into the different parts of the brain and how these areas work (for better or for worse)to draw conclusions and make decisions. Good insight on how it can be manipulated and how it can improve to make better decisions. However, beware "The Moral Mind" chapter, as there are some very disturbing things covered there.

Social scientists, beware! An uncomfortable and bewildering read as it reduces many of our decisions on the material details of our brains, particularly the development of our prefrontal cortex!!
