The article linked to below is billed "The Science of Good and Evil." Slicer reckons it's mistitled but it's par for the course when looking for an eye-catching headline. It features an interview with Paul Zak, discussing the subject of his book "The Moral Molecule."
Zak's proposal strikes Slicer as overly simplistic (attributing complex behaviours and/or physiologically-governed processes to one or two chemical mediators is pretty much always a mistake)... but his findings are very interesting. Slicer also prefers his own nickname to Zak's "Dr Luuuuvvv...."
Have a listen here and see what you think.
