Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry by Randolph M. Nesse

5.0

It is a revolutionary book on a brand new concept to me: evolutionary psychiatry. The six factors: mismatch, infection, constrains, trade-off, reproduction and defensive responses have "doomed" our vulnerability to illness. The perspective that the author has presented is very refreshing and thought-provoking. The beginning of the book is especially gripping. A good read.
