book review

book was in excellent condition but took a little too much time for it to be shipped

a significant step forward

Excellent. This book is a significant step forward from the pack of current offerings. I wish it was available when I was a student. The book is clear, concise, informative, and mot importantly a joy to read.

fascinating journey through the mind

If you've ever wondered what forms the foundation of a person, read this book and learn about everything that makes the brain work as it does. Readable book and very fulfilling experience. You'll never look at people's behavior the same way because you'll know what drives them!
