A neuroscientist reveals unique aspects of decision making and the best strategies for protecting and enhancing the brain’s ability to navigate life’s uncertainties

Contingency calculations—the ability to predict the outcomes of decisions and actions—are critical for survival and success. Our amazing brains continually process past and current experiences to enable us to make the most adaptive choices. But when the brain’s information systems are compromised—by such varying conditions as drug addiction, poverty, mental illness, or even privilege—we can lose the ability to arrive at informed decisions.
 
In this engaging book, behavioral neuroscientist Kelly Lambert explores a variety of the modern factors that can lead to warped neural processing, or distorted realities she terms “brain bubbles.” Individuals who define success in terms of creature comforts and immediate gratification, for instance, may interact less with the physical and social world and thereby dull their ability to imagine varied contingency scenarios. The author underscores how continuous, meaningful, and well-grounded experiences are required if we are to make the best decisions throughout our lives.

Recenzijas

Well-Grounded: The Neurobiology of Rational Decisions gives us a tour of how our brains try to detect and act upon accurate contingencies in other words, to make right decisions. And in teaching why we so often fail dismally at this, Kelly Lambert reveals the roots of frequent personal and societal misery. With clear, accessible, and witty writing, Well-Grounded is an important guidebook in a world endlessly luring us into making terrible, irrational decisions.Robert Sapolsky, author of Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst

"In her intriguing and compassionate book, Kelly Lambert, one of the most well-grounded scientists I know, provides a timely guide on avoiding the dangers of 'brain bubbles.'"Katherine Ellison, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Buzz: A Year of Paying Attention

Kelly Lambert is one of the few scientists who can see how her research ties into the wider world, who understands why thats important, and who can explain it all to the rest of us. Read and enjoy this book.Paul Raeburn, co-author of The Game Theorist's Guide to Parenting

"Kelly Lamberts Well-Grounded, written with an informal and light-hearted tone, harbors numerous deep insights regarding human behavior. Its easy to understand why the author has garnered so many teaching awards."Peter Sterling, co-author with Simon Laughlin of Principles of Neural Design

Kelly Lambert has a gift for popularizing complex scientific concepts and weaving the information into interesting and compelling story lines.Donald G. Stein, Director of the Brain Research Lab, Emory University
