Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Robert M. Sapolsky

4.0

3.5 stars, rounding up. This was a fairly easy book to follow. The author was engaging and had interesting stories to tell. A lot of what I got in this book wasn't news to me, but it didn't bother me because it was still framed in ways that were interesting and talked about the specifics of studies that backed the claims. Some of the language used was strange and US-centric and seemed unaware of this problem. There were also a few things, like referring to our current "post-9/11" world that aged it. Overall, though, it's a very interesting look at the neuroscience behind stress and mental health.
