Brilliant

Irony: People are conditioned to reject conditioning. Our culture continues to criticize behavioral psychology because the conclusions are the opposite of what people learn to accept without question. Thank you Bobby Newman for providing a book that will expose people to the importance of this technology in a user friendly way. Behavioral technology and understanding human behavior is needed to not only improve the world and provide hope for the human race, but to also give people a true scientific perspective and understanding of how we fit in with the evolutionary process. We aren't magical autonomous freaks. We are beautiful animals that live in a world that selects our genetics as well as our behavior. Our society is starting to recognize the men of science, but their ignorance is obvious and sad. To understand the evolutionary chain you must understand human behavior and they just have no clue. Human behavior is based on consequences, selected for just like genetic material. Just like evolution the process isn't always obvious and can go against common sense, but the reality is obvious to anyone that gains understanding. Stop reading criticisms that show complete misunderstandings of behaviorism and read About Behaviorism by B.F. Skinner and then read this book. Hopefully one day the ignorance of people like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Steven Pinker, Christopher Hitchens, etc... won't be reinforced and the Bobby Newman's of this world that actually exhibit intelligent, compassionate, caring behavior will. Stop reading the criticisms. Read the sources. Great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
