Citando le conclusioni del suo ultimo libro, l'editorialista del New York Times David Brooks illustra come le scienze cognitive ci stiano aiutando a vedere la natura umana in un modo nuovo, e come questo possa avere un enorme impatto sull'economia, sulla politica e sul modo in cui concepiamo noi stessi. In una presentazione non priva di momenti divertenti, Brooks mostra come non si possa vedere l'essere umano come un'entità isolata che sceglie in base alla razionalità e alla coscienza.

New York Times columnist David Brooks is the author of “Bobos in Paradise,” “On Paradise Drive” -- and his new narrative of neuroscience, "The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character and Achievement." Full bio »
