probably the pinnacle of Sapolsky’s input + creative synergy - he obviously read widely & could gather connections in an extremely engaging way. He is much more bogged down with details in his later work “Behave” - but that book is more akin to a textbook than these essays, the brevity which allows more diversity of topics and tidy finishings.

He makes relatable, believable explications of neurosci & mental disorders into the spectrum of the common. I am pinching myself as I hear connected theories and studies being touted today at a workshop on social cognition I am attending, in 2023. Exhilirating!

I don’t get why Sapolsky is such an engaging writer when other science writers, be they scientist or journalist, fail to be so interesting. I’m guessing partially in writing general science Sapolsky allows himself the imagination and speculation that some researchers find difficult to overcome, whereas journalists may have too shallow an understanding to make viable (thus attractive) inferences.
