  • "Tajemnica szczesliwego zycia ukryta w emocjach Poznaj Harolda i Erike. Dzieki najnowszym osiagnieciom nauki zrozumiesz ich o wiele lepiej, niz oni rozumieli sami siebie. Poznasz ich emocje i pragnienia. Dowiesz sie, dlaczego w kluczowych momentach zycia dokonywali takich, a nie innych wyborow. Dostrzezesz zrodla ich sukcesow i porazek.Wszystko po to, aby historia ich szczesliwego zycia stala sie dla Ciebie inspiracja. W ostatnich latach dowiedzielismy sie o ludzkim mozgu o wiele wiecej niz kiedykolwiek wczesniej. David Brooks udowadnia, ze kluczowe dla naszego zyciowego powodzenia sa nieuswiadomione emocje i relacje, ktore tworzymy z innymi ludzmi."
  • ""Ésta es la historia de cómo se produce el éxito. Se cuenta a través de la vida de una pareja, Harold y Erica: cómo crecen, avanzan, retroceden, fracasan y truinfan. A partir de la gran cantidad de información que aporta sobre estos dos personajes, vívidamente descritos, Brooks ilustra un nuevo conocimiento fundamental de la naturaleza humana. Se ha producido una revolución científica: hemos aprendido más del cerebro humano en los últimos treinta años que en los trescientos anteriores. Resulta que la mente inconsciente es 'la mayor parte' de la mente, un lugar que no es oscuro y rudimentario sino creativo y gozoso, donde se lleva a cabo casi todo el trabajo del cerebro. Es el terreno de las emociones, las intuiciones, las tendencias, los deseos, las predisposiciones genéticas, los rasgos de la personalidad y las normas sociales, allí donde se forma el carácter y se toman las decisiones más importantes de la vida. El hábitat natural del 'animal social'."--"
  • "Brooks effectively interweaves history, science, statistics and instinctual behavioral patterns into a fictional treatment that reiterates his belief in "the way unconscious affections and aversions shape daily life. He employs a novelistic narrative device in his intricate analysis of two upwardly mobile, likeminded individuals. The fictional couple's initial meeting spurs the author to personify the dynamics of attraction via their gender-specific "primitive passions" ("Rob was looking at cleavage, Julia was looking for signs of trustworthiness"), primal scents and cues that would anticipate a lifelong romance. "Aided by chemistry and carried along by feeling," Rob and Julia troubleshoot cohabitation blunders, carnal urges and the birth of son Harold, who, together with his wife-to-be Erica (introduced chapters later), ultimately becomes the focus of the author's behavioral paradigm. Harold's mental development proceeds from kindergarten to high school via cliques, phases and a taboo student-teacher crush. The author expands his group with Erica, an ambitious, ethnically diverse girl raised in a poor public housing project. She excels at a challenging educational platform in her youth and achieves success as a business consultant by cultivating ideas and having Harold develop them for real-world application. Their evolution as husband and wife and consummate professionals is not, however, without a fair share of stumbles."
  • "This is the happiest story you will ever read. It's about two people who led wonderfully fulfilling, successful lives. The odd thing was, they weren't born geniuses. They had no extraordinary physical or mental gifts. Nobody would have picked them out at a young age and said they were destined for greatness. How did they do it?In the past thirty years we have learnt more about the human brain than in the previous 3000 - a scientific revolution has occurred. The unconscious mind, it turns out, is most of the mind - the place where the majority of the brain's work gets done, where our most impor."@en
