Dal risvolto di copertina interno
Are humans born good or evil? It is a question we have asked since we first became curious about our existence. Do we have a moral impulse from the start, a natural inclination to empathize and care for each other? If so, why are there psychopaths?
Neuroscientist and economist Paul J. Zak has spent ten years researching to answer these questions and discover the chemical governor of our behaviour. His work has led him from a 'vampire wedding' in Devon to the jungles of Papua New Guinea, and from investigating the love rituals of lobsters to hurling himself from a plane. Proving that oxytocin, a hormone most commonly associated with reproduction, is the moral molecule within us - a 'trust drug' released when we feel trusted, and responsible for our need to cooperate - he also reveals the biology for our need to punish. His remarkable experiments show how oxytocin can be both measured and manipulated, and what happens when it is inhibited. He explains how we operate on sports field and battlefield; why some companies flounder and others succeed; why parts of the world are prosperous and others are violent and impoverished. And how understanding the moral molecule can make all of us happier.
Detective story, adventure and scientific discovery rolled into one, The Moral Molecule is a brilliant read: compulsively entertaining and potentially life-changing.
