Story
While plenty of entertaining books have been written about the history of alcohol and other intoxicants, none have offered a comprehensive, convincing answer to the basic question of why humans want to get high in the first place. Drunk elegantly cuts through the tangle of urban legends and anecdotal impressions that surround our notions of intoxication to provide the first rigorous, scientifically grounded explanation for our love of alcohol.

Story
Why is it always hard to fall asleep the night before an important meeting? Or be charming and relaxed on a first date? What is it about a politician who seems wooden or a comedian whose jokes fall flat or an athlete who chokes? In all of these cases, striving seems to backfire. In Trying Not To Try, Edward Slingerland explains why we find spontaneity so elusive, and shows how early Chinese thought points the way to happier, more authentic lives.

Story
Aunque se han escrito ríos de tinta sobre la historia y la filosofía del alcohol y otras drogas, nadie había ofrecido hasta ahora una respuesta completa y convincente a la pregunta básica detrás del fenómeno: ¿por qué los seres humanos han recurrido desde siempre a sustancias alteradoras de la conciencia?
