Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst is a 2017 non-fiction book by Robert Sapolsky. It describes how various biological processes influence human behavior, on scales ranging from less than a second before an action to thousands of years before.
A review in The Guardian called Behave "a miraculous synthesis of scholarly domains". [1] Kirkus Reviews called it "An exemplary work of popular science, challenging but accessible." [2] A review in the Star Tribune considers Behave to be Sapolsky's magnum opus as well as "a stunning achievement and an invaluable addition to the canon of scientific literature." [3] In Science Magazine's edited book review blog, Behave was described as "exceptional in its scale, scope, detail, and writing style". [4]
