I liked the concept and did find myself thinking about whether the chimp was in charge in my day to day life. I got a bit lost in some of the more detailed aspects but that was probably because I was listening to the audiobook. Print would enable you to reread and see the diagrams. Not sure I'll remember anything beyond the chimp idea in a few weeks but I did like the concepts. A pithy and readable account of your brain and how it makes decisions. Peters' postscript details what recent science has discovered in relation to how the brain makes crucial decisions. The rest of the book uses his own simplified model to demonstrate the science in a way that is easy-to-understand and totally relatable with many examples which will resemble your everyday life. At times, it was almost humorous how close it came to real life: my mother has broken her foot and we've had to cancel a family holiday, which took place just as I read about an 'uncontrollable chimp's' response to dealing with the exact same situation. The paradox, of course, is that the 'chimp' in our mind (our limbic system and emotional brain centre) can be our best friend or our worst enemy. The 'human' in our mind makes decisions which are far more logical and less emotional, and has to battle with our 'chimp' part of the brain to get its (usually) more compassionate and altruistic way. It makes compelling reading, and is accompanied by helpful, and often witty, illustrations throughout. Highly recommended. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
