The End of a Myth: How Aggression Arises and Why.

Violence in the subway, rampages, military conflicts – we receive daily news about interpersonal aggression. Bestselling author and neurobiologist Joachim Bauer delves into the phenomenon of violence and debunks the so-called aggression drive as a myth. Bauer explains the significance of the "pain threshold" for the emergence of human aggression and clarifies how violent psychopaths differ from average healthy individuals. The book outlines what we can do on a personal, societal, and political level to avoid cycles of violence and maintain peace.
