Each year we review hundreds of newly published books in the behavioral sciences with the same goal in mind: to select those that stretch our thinking, surprise us, delight us, and help us better understand ourselves and our world.
Because the behavioral sciences cover a lot of ground, so does this list. And like the behavioral sciences, this list resists a single categorization. There are books on intuition, innovation, and intelligence; poverty, probability, and technology. There are titles that offer a history of creativity, a theory of everyone, and a look at the possibility of life on other planets.
For those who are curious about other people, this expansive terrain is your playground. Please allow us to invite you in. Welcome to our selection of notable behavioral science books published in 2023.
