This book provides excellent insight into the reasons why we do the things that we do. The thing that scared me was that I saw a little bit of myself in each category. But who knows, maybe that means I'm normal. The stories are good and very insightful. Dr. Berecz relates his case histories well, and he provides analysis that can be easily understood. You can find out not only about yourself, but you can start to understand how other people (boss, friend, co-worker) work. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a deeper understanding of themself.

I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who already owns an introductory physics text such as Halliday and Resnick or the Feynman Lectures...the quantity of material beyond the scope of those books is very disappointing. The authors seem more interested in pretty pictures and impressive graphs than content. The only chapter I found useful was the chapter on nuclear physics. If you can find this book used for a bargain, it might be worth the money, but at the full price, purchase at your own risk.

A clear, historical and contamporary book
