Audible Editor Reviews
This issue of Scientific American Mind features cover story "Bored?", an engrossing article which explores lifestyle research into the ultimate cures for boredom. Another four articles explore similar neuropsychological themes, reviewing three decades of research into raising successful and intellectual children, exploring new medical uses for hallucinogenic drugs, investigating the evolution and existence of empathy throughout the animal kingdom, and outlining the gender-specific skills which lead women and men to pursue different types of jobs.
Mark Moran has a clear, conversational performance style which genuinely invites listeners into these exciting dialogues about scientific advancement and discovery.
