The Moral Molecule - Audio Book

Details: Human beings can be so compassionate. They can also be shockingly cruel. What if there was a master control for human behaviour? Switch it on and people are loving and generous. Switch it off and they revert to violence and greed. Pioneering neuroeconomist Paul J. Zak has discovered just such a master switch: a molecule in the human brain. Zak and his research team have travelled from his laboratory in California to the jungles of Papua New Guinea, taking blood from people as they attend a wedding, making decisions with money, play football on the field, even jump from an aeroplane. Their experiments to measure a chemical in the bloodstream called oxytocin reveal the answers to those mysteries about why we make the decision we do: why men cheat more than women: why we are
sometimes rational: once we understand the moral molecule, how we can consciously use it to make our lives better. Read by the author. Ideal for: The Moral Molecule takes an entirely fresh scientific look at one of the biggest questions in life: are we born good or evil and exactly what drives the way we behave? Listen to find out. Running time approximately: 7 hours 45 minutes. 6 CD's unabridged.
