Speech: David Brooks - The social animal

An amazing speech that truly speaks through me about human nature and true understanding of ourselves. 

"Tapping into the findings of his latest book, NYTimes columnist David Brooks unpacks new insights into human nature from the cognitive sciences -- insights with massive implications for economics and politics as well as our own self-knowledge. In a talk full of humor, he shows how you can't hope to understand humans as separate individuals making choices based on their conscious awareness."

  1. Eeeks I usually hate Brooks' columns on the NY Times! But here he kind of makes sense, for once. :)

  2. To be honest I've never read any of his articles but I'm quite curious to do so! Is he that bad? :P
