Review: The Chimp Paradox by Steve Peters

Bernard O'Leary's review
of
The Chimp Paradox: How Our Impulses and Emotions Can Determine Success and Happiness and How We Can Control Them:
"This is a great book for those who have never engaged in any kind of self-appraisal whatsoever, especially if you are also unfamiliar with even the most basic elements of psychology. And I mean really, really basic. In The Chimp Paradox, Steve Peters"

| For a 50 year-old science fiction work, written behind the iron curtain (though this is the uncensored original), Roadside Picnic comes across very fresh. It offers an interesting take on the "first contact" genre - no aliens are ever met, only their ...more | |

| Some interesting ideas, though some weirdly odd ones (language doesn't evolve over millions of years apparently). Probably ground breaking in its day, but the writing style and general insights are showing their age. ...more | |

| A good premise, but for me, the potential wasn't quite realised. The writing is solidly in the 'accessible' camp, ideal for a low energy poolside read, but I suspect that was the intention so mission accomplished. I was skimming heavily towards the e ...more | |
