Description: Good Life : Wellbeing and the new science of altruism, selfishness and immorality, Paperback by Music, Graham, ISBN 1848722273, ISBN-13 9781848722279, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK Music offers an analysis of altruism, selfishness, and antisocial and prosocial behavior carried out with behavioral and neurological evidence. Th starts with the propensity for generous behavior based on social attachment and evidence that empathy and a sense of fairness are present at a young age. The the role of stress and alarm in turning off prosocial cues is then outlined, and both reactive and proactive aggression are discussed, with the suggestion that current social environments promote antisocial behavior. A comparison/contrast of emotional and rational reasoning leads into a discussion of hormonal and evolutionary influences on cooperation, the social psychology of moral games and reputation. The final chapters explore how consumerism and the economic structure of society interact with our brains to weight our inclinations toward selfishness and demands for independence.
