Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“In The Well-Tuned Brain Peter Whybrow combines gripping, big themes with an abundance of fascinating stories. The big themes revolve around the collision between our ancient human habits, our human brains often operating on autopilot, and the seductive material success of our modern market economy. You’ll find this book as rich and as thought-provoking as it is enjoyable.” —Jared Diamond, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel and The World Until Yesterday
“Though The Well-Tuned Brain is packed with powerful recent research, its punch comes from the philosophical meditation at its core. Peter Whybrow ponders how living our best lives can make the best world. This book is a courageous manifesto about human frailty that delineates the care with which we need to treat ourselves and those around us. We ignore its message at terrible personal and social cost.” —Andrew Solomon, National Book Award–winning author of The Noonday Demon and Far from the Tree
“Whybrow’s crisp neuroscience reporting is important, as it helps us understand why parts of the brain are at war, some busy offering rewards and reinforcement others cross-talking, all the while being stressed and pulled by the environment.” —Kirkus Reviews
“As we face the biggest problems civilizations have ever confronted—climate change above all—it’s crucial that we understand why our brains are being hijacked in the wrong direction. Peter Whybrow’s book does exactly that, making it possible for us to summon the grace and will necessary to do the right thing.” —Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet
