Book Description
At a very tender age, Robbie Meyers saw his dad’s belligerent side. He saw him fight in bars, get really drunk and high, and disrespectfully treating police officers. Although he didn’t spend much of his time with his dad after his parents’ divorce, Robbie grew up like him. Later, his addiction to drugs and alcohol turned from bad to worse, and he often found himself in horrible circumstances, like waking up beside dead animals or even running his car over a corpse. He didn’t know how it happened, but he knew that his blackouts made him forget what he did. It didn’t help that he befriended Chaz and Rock God, his blood brothers, who not only sunk him deeper into his vices, but also led him to a life of crime. Rattled by self-doubt, guilt, and depression, he made some attempts to become sober, but, whenever he failed, he thought of killing himself. It was at these times that fate would somehow reconnect him with Chaz and Rock God. The three of them, together with their newfound friend, Junior, the ever-reliable drug supplier, Chucky Bear, and a guy named Brandon carried out a successful bank heist. Then he met Jessica. Robbie’s life of crime, sex, drugs, and alcohol continues…

Book Description
The hidden brain is the voice in our ear when we make the most important decisions in our lives—but we’re never aware of it. The hidden brain decides whom we fall in love with and whom we hate. It tells us to vote for the white candidate and convict the dark-skinned defendant, to hire the thin woman but pay her less than the man doing the same job. It can direct us to safety when disaster strikes and move us to extraordinary acts of altruism. But it can also be manipulated to turn an ordinary person into a suicide terrorist or a group of bystanders into a mob. In a series of compulsively readable narratives, Shankar Vedantam journeys through the latest discoveries in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral science to uncover the darkest corner of our minds and its decisive impact on the choices we make as individuals and as a society. Filled with fascinating characters, dramatic storytelling, and cutting-edge science, this is an engrossing exploration of the secrets our brains keep from us—and how they are revealed.
