Our human brain is both unique and similar to that of other species. The only way we can trace its evolution is by comparing it to the brains of animals alive today. In this book, leading neuroscientist Rogier Mars offers an engaging account of the evolution of the brain by exploring the brains and cognitive capacities of animals from the humble sea squirt to the socially minded fox and the tiny shrew.

There is a particular kind of fear that arrives when the brain is involved. People can face heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, and even cancer with a grim determination, but when the doctor begins to speak about the brain, something changes in the room. The atmosphere tightens. The future feels less predictable. The questions become more personal, more intimate, and often more frightening, because the brain is not only an organ that keeps us alive. It is the place where our sense of self seems to live.

Wie oft haben wir uns schon gewünscht, anders zu sein? Besser, erfolgreicher, mutiger? Weil wir glauben, dass unser Leben dann erfüllter wäre. Doch was, wenn gerade dieses Streben nach ständiger Selbstoptimierung uns von der ersehnten Erfüllung fernhält? Vielmehr lädt dieses Hörbuch dazu ein, heimzukommen – in den eigenen Körper, zu unseren Gefühlen und ins authentische Sein. Statt vorgefertigter Übungspläne öffnet es einen Raum, in dem wir innehalten, unseren Körper spüren und uns selbst wieder begegnen können.

Why do some people manipulate, exploit, and harm with chilling consistency—while others, even when raised in the same environment, do not? Cruelty by Nature dismantles the comforting myths that abuse is merely the product of trauma, bad parenting, or social wounds. Instead, it draws from neuroscience, genetics, and clinical psychology to reveal a sharper truth: personality pathology is rooted in stable biological systems that bias individuals toward exploitation.

Brought to you by Penguin. Our goal should not be to eliminate vulnerability, but to harness its power. This is a roadmap for figuring out how. We know the gut-wrenching feeling: that post-conversation replay, cringing at how much we just revealed. We live in fear of saying too much, so we keep...

Existe una molécula en nuestro cerebro que la sociedad desconoce por completo. Se llama anandamida, del sánscrito "ananda", que significa "dicha suprema". Nos permite vivir despiertos y habitar el momento presente, sintiendo que todo está bien y no nos falta de nada. Esta sustancia química es lo que posibilita que el ruido mental cese, el ego se disuelva y emerja la experiencia directa de paz, unidad y trascendencia. De ahí que se la llame poéticamente "el neurotransmisor de dios".

Why do we cross our fingers, avoid walking under ladders, or whisper “knock on wood” after saying something hopeful? Even in a modern world of science and logic, little rituals like these continue to shape our daily lives. We laugh at them, shrug them off, and sometimes do them without even thinking. But behind every quirky superstition lies something deeper: a glimpse into how the human brain works, how culture shapes belief, and how we cope with uncertainty.
