Seven Deadly Sins by Guy Leschziner review – the biology of human frailty

Summary

Nutrition label

67% Informative

Guy Leschziner , a neurologist at Guy’s Hospital in London , explores the physiological and psychological roots of these failings’ He argues that, in mild degree, all might be considered not just universal but necessary human attributes.

The goal, he implies, is not to renounce them but to align our natural impulses with the demands of living healthily.

Focusing on case studies where the complex higher-level processes of volition have been compromised by physiological breakdown can end up obscuring both our capacity for self-determination, and the way our cultures and social circumstances constrain or diminish it.

The problem lies in that “simply”; one could equally say that our behaviour is simply' a product of atoms in motion.
