Science of Survival: Prediction of Human Behavior

This was a fantastic, fantastic book. It's the missing puzzle pieces on how to survive on planet Earth - and survive well - laid out in a beautiful map and you're walked through, section by section, until you understand how all the pieces fit together and are able to actually pick them up yourself and use them. Questions I've had since I was a kid, things I always thought felt wrong but I couldn't put my finger on why, behaviors that I couldn't predict; all of it answered. The data in this book isn't just given to you "on authority" and demanded that you trust it; you can (and are encouraged to) hold it up, compare it, observe, and test it in the world around you, and it proves to be true time and time again. This book is a tool box that hands you the tools for prediction, happiness, security, and survival.
