In Wild Brains, Kelly Lambert helps us to appreciate many of these experiments, reminding us that we have much to learn outside of the bounds of laboratory research. This is an important message beautifully conveyed by a brilliant neuroscientist.”—Thomas Insel, former director of the National Institute of Mental Health and author of Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health

“Well-Grounded: The Neurobiology of Rational Decisions gives us a tour of how our brains try to detect and act upon accurate contingencies – in other words, to make right decisions. And in teaching why we so often fail dismally at this, Kelly Lambert reveals the roots of frequent personal and societal misery. With clear, accessible, and witty writing, Well-Grounded is an important guidebook in a world endlessly luring us into making terrible, irrational decisions.”—Robert Sapolsky, author of Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst
“Witty, wise, and down-to-earth, Kelly Lambert teaches us much about ourselves by letting her rats do the talking By understanding the fundamentals of brain function in rats, we can see reflections of human nature, provoking new insight into oursleves.” Patricia Churchland, Professor Emeritua, Philosophy Department, UCSD, and author of Braintrust
"In this exciting and invigorating new book, Kelly Lambert presents a compelling proposition: that our highly technological society may in fact be increasing the rates of depression… it is essential reading for all who want a full understanding of the biological and social aspects of depression beyond the popular sound bites about chemical imbalances and pills." Christopher R. Martell, Ph.D., ABPP, Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and Department of Psychology, University of Washington; co-author, "Depression in Context," "Overcoming Depression One Step at a Time," and "The Myth of Depression as Disease"
