The Moral Molecule

I have just finished reading an exciting book by Paul Zak called "The Moral Molecule". It is an exciting romp through the hormones which influence our moods, trust, happiness. While the author takes us through many of his interesting experiments it is not presented as an account in scientific terms (though he does provide sample numbers). It is a personal account, very amusing at times, roller coasting through vampires, New Guinea natives, Greek philosophers and religion, how to beat some of the problems of experimenting with humans. He comes over as a fascinating man. I recommend this book. It is available in hard copy or on Kindle. It is a very easy read despite its title.
