¿Por qué amamos tanto los videos de gatitos? ¿Acelera el tiempo a medida que envejeces? ¿Deberías jugar juegos mentales? ¿Puedes hacerte feliz? Art Markman y Bob Duke, presentadores del popular programa de radio NPR con sede en Austin y el podcast "Two Guys on Your Head", están aquí para responder a todas sus preguntas sobre cómo funciona el cerebro y por qué nos comportamos como lo hacemos. Con los últimos descubrimientos empíricos, esta es una ciencia servida en fragmentos de tamaño de bocado, divertidos y reveladores, junto con un conjunto completo de referencias para estudios posteriores.
