I have read all those book and I agree Sapolsky is a genius and he's great at explaining complex stuff making it seem really easy

Wow! I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel! Lately, I'm into sciency stuff book!😆 Anyway, thanks for the book recommendations!😊

just finished Why We Sleep and 65 pages into The Social Animal, thank you for the recommendations!

Thank you Gregory! Nicely done vlog, love it! Now I know what book i will read next, after I've finished the one I'm reading now.

I've already read 3 books in your list: thinking fast and slow, sapiens and why we sleep. Will start reading other books as well. And also I've read 2 other books about brain which I found very interesting: man who mistook his wife for a hat by oliver sacks and phantoms in the brain by VS Ramachandran. I understand it's too old but their experiments and case studies were awesome and I really enjoyed it.

Awesome list 👍🏻

Can't wait to read all these books

I've read TH FAST AND SLOW 3 times… every time I get new insights, Kahneman is a genious!

Thanks for the recommendations, Greg!

Thanks for sharing the list of these amazingly informative books :) and yeah I loved all your Udemy courses. Looking forward to learn more and more from you. Thanks:)

Thanks for recommending...can you please make a video on books on brains for beginners who wants to explore the structure and function of brain

Looks like a great list. I am going to start reading. Thanks for sharing.

I was searching for books reviews recently for a uni project. and I watched your channel. It is amazing, and I really love it and love the way of your giving. thank you so much. If you are free, can you recommend to me some other names of books that were published recently 5 years ago maximum and at the same time do not belong under self-help or how or novels or stories? I would be happy to read your recommendations

Thank you.

Thank You Sir it's very useful books

Sapiens has been recommended by a few. Some say social perspective while some say it decodes being human. It is interesting to know its relevance in the context of brains. Now it is a must read for me along with Behave! There must be some reason why Gregory has so many bookmarks there. :)

Love it! Thanks for these inspiring suggestions! Just ordered BEHAVE and WHY WE SLEEP

Thank you

My comment is number 100!😂 excellent book list!!! I love knowing about the brain, to understand stuff ex in psychology - that psychologists do not always know their brain science enough to explain ideas!

A great list. Thanks a lot for that. Was always a little resistant to add The brain that changes itself to my reading list, but you making it appear in this list finally convinced me. Also took home the gendered brain as a to read book^^ Robert Sapolskys free human bio course on youtube together with thinking fast and slow are my next big bio/psychology learning goals. If you have other book recommendations, would be a pleasure for me if you let me know^^ Got this year till october to read on my own till I start studying cognitive sciences or human/comp

Love this, thank you so much! I have some of them and will certainly get the rest. I was wondering what you think about 'The Idea of the Brain' by Matthew Cobb?

Wonderful

i have half readed 'the social animal'. No regrets, it is an amazing book covering a lot of concepts, theories and hypothesis (somatic markers hyphotesis, mirror neurons, marshmellow studies, etc.) on a factible and make-sense story (so far). It is my 5th day reading this, it is a hard book, thinking and rethinking the fact, all of that is new to me (i read biographical and compute science related books, and now, im trying to explain all that behavior using the studies and theories), hoping to end this the next week,. I only get one question, do the other 5 books touch or grasp similar topics, or do they diverge on new concepts and studies? This is only to prepare myself, that this is gonna be a tough journey, with the final goal to understand topics related to the brain and effective learning. and also, after ending this book, do you think am i ready to read thinking, fast and slow? see ya!

I very much look forward to reading them all

Great video, really useful! Thank you

👍 thanks for the books Greg.. would you consider a video on how to maximize a book.s content? sae lots of sticky.s on your books..so you obviously take lots of notes.. what other tips you have on how to take as much as possible from a book. thanks again 😁

Thank you for all reccomendation. I already have read Sapiens. Will continue with M. Walker , D. Brooks and Mr. Sapolsky .... Great editing btw. Pleasant day to all bookworms & brainmaniacs :)

I have Sapiens in my eshelves. that I still need to read :) I have watch a few of his interviews as well. An interesting perspective indeed.

I love science , but talking about the brain I love the more and I start reading so thanks so much for showing me all these books .

Nice video Gregory! I recently bought "Phantoms in the Brain" from Ramachandran, as an engineer this is a exciting but also very deep field to enter :) Greetings from Germany!

Nice list and thanks for sharing! What about 'We are our brains' by the Dutch professor Dick Swaab? Did it make Brain Academy's Top 10?

Thank you! I will try that! Excellent as I loooove reading boooks.

I have read 3/6.. and it all started with Thinking fast and Slow, then Sapiens and then Behave ... Apart from this I read Nudge, Misbehave and The Enigma of Reason related to this theme

The revelation for me was Phantoms in the Brain

that's actually a nice editing

I want to learn about brain, it's working and everything related to neuroscience and psychology. From where should I start. Please guide me

Sir please can you suggest me a book for start off with the basis of neurons .

Thanks Greg, You just made my want-to-read-list a bit longer... Without your courses on Udemy, one could spend an entire year reading (let alone understanding) the books. PS: what are your thoughts on Dispenza's "Evolve your brain" (reading it now) and Dr. Helmstetter's "The Power of Neuroplasticity" ?

"Brain story of you" by david eagleman is a gem bud😇

I dont have any background in neuroscience will you please recommend an interest book

power of subconscious mind

My order will be " behave " ," why we sleep" and " the brain that changes itself"

Hello thank you for recommandations , if I'm totally new in this in which order you recommand them ? Guess I should start with the social animal right ? Thanks

Great editing 😂

Hi, Greg! Thanks a lot for your recommendations! :) I loved reading "The happiness hypothesis" - Jonathan Haidt

Any recs on neuroplasticity for absolute beginners?!

I really admire your enthusiasm for these books and I have one question. Do reading these books really help you to control your mind ? I am asking this question because i have a really important exam coming up in the next few months and I wanted to know if the time I invest in these books are worth it and will they give me results or not?

Should 'Phantoms in The Brain' by V S Ramachandran and Sandra Blakelee qualify in that list?

What's your opinion on Steven Pinker and David Buss?

I've read David Eagleman's books "Incognito" and "The Brain: The story of you". What do you think about them?

What do you think about robert greene?

2:10 which movie is this? 😂

Read my book “Meditation and Spirituality a Philosophy”

I highly recommend this Amazing book (Secrets of Sanatan Dharma) available on Amazon and kindle

Think fast and slow

One good missing book about the brain is “Limitless”

If I understood you correctly. Women and men aren't different at all brain wise? Does that conflict with the way trans people talk about about their brains?

🤍DIFUNDIENDO EL AMOR DE DIOS 🤍 ¡Él te ama, nunca te dejará! A veces puedes pensar que Él no te está escuchando, ¡pero Él te está escuchando!

WE BROKE GODS LAW. 2000 YEARS AGO, GOD PROVIDED A SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST WHO SUFFERED AND TOOK OUR PUNISHMENT ON THE CROSS. THE BIBLE SAYS IF WE DECLARE WITH OUT MOUTH JESUS IS LORD AND BELIEVE IN OUR HEART GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD YOU SHALL BE SAVED. Romans 10-9. GOD WILL FORGIVE YOUR SINS AND GRANT YOU EVERLASTING LIFE ALL BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS DID ON THE CROSS

"The origin of the specie" was a huuuge disappointment 😞 😒 😑
