5.0

Amazing read!
A deep insight on the way we make our decisions and how its sole purpose (unconscious to us) is the procreation and continuation of our species by building status, reputation and finally gaining of resources including mates and thus children.
How self-deception (again unknown to our consicous) helps in speaking with conviction.
Why women can continue in a relationship with a cheating partner, but men can't.
This book provides compelling argument to all those questions and more, on the basis of evolutionary psychology.

It is a bit disheartening to know that "our happiness" isn't one of the goals in the whole process! Also, the concluding chapters leading to an answer to "Are we a moral animal, after all?" is, though hard to completely accept, I guess partly we knew it all along to be so!

Definitely read it, if you like psychology or if you are just curious (like me) about the decision making process and the evolutionary benefit, if any, due to it.

Happy reading!
