A really fascinating look at neuroscience and cooperation. Over my head a lot of times, there was still a lot of information that was readily accessible, especially with illustrations.
I appreciated the focus on cooperation, and how people work together. I was intrigued by the idea that working in a more diverse group is more effective, but less pleasant, and I found myself wondering about the after effects (did people working on a diverse group appreciate having better solutions or just remember the challenging experience of having to work with different people?)
There were also biographical interludes of the two scientists in question, and a lot of related studies.
The whole thing was super interesting.
