Why Do We All Behave In The Way We Do is the third book in the ‘Secrets of Life From Big Bang to Trump’ series by SS O’Connor.
Why is life like a poker game? How did a failed robbery help to explain human nature? Why are we so certain bad men will win – and yet we’re so wrong?
It explains how the science of decision analysis developed, and why it has come to show us not only the reasoning behind how humans arrive at their choices in life but why so much of the apparently bizarre behaviour of the natural world has the same hard logic to it. Instead of the confusion and chaos one might expect, O’Connor lays out how the options organisms face when they interact can actually be analysed, and how we humans then refined this process through the addition of our intelligence and language skills.
Why Do We All Behave In The Way We Do is an utterly fascinating read. It starts with the thoughts of Adam Smith before moving the reader into the 20th century with the mathematical reasoning behind our thought processes revealed at a time when the very future of the world was at stake. From these earliest investigations, through to the fevered disagreements of later experts, this third volume of the Secrets of Life series explains how the science of game theory illuminates the reasons for our behaviour. In particular, the book provides insights into how the interests of the individual should be balanced against those of the group.
SS O’Connor has a fluid and conversational writing style which makes reading Why Do We All Behave In The Way We Do easy, and interesting and is one you will find yourself passing on to friends so you can discuss it.
