Paul J. Zak
Forfatter af The Moral Molecule: The Source of Love and Prosperity
Om forfatteren
Paul J. Zak's proclivity for taking blood samples has earned, him a nickname as the "vampire economist." But his sanguinary habit is backed by his scientific quest: What if there was a master switch for human behavior? On, and people are loving and generous. Off, and they revert to violence and vis mere greed. By studying thousands of blood samples, Zak has pinpointed just such a switch: a brain chemical called oxytocin. Sprinting around the globe and into the human brain, The Moral Molecule is a dazzling narrative as erudite and entertaining as bestsellers like Flow, Drive, and Why We Love. vis mindre
