This book may seem like a very technical book, but it is not. Doctor Pert is very good at explaining her very complicated research. The book is about her journey as a grad student and researcher and the many challenges she faced in the field as a researcher and as a woman. She connects the idea of mind and body by using her own research data. She starts off the book by explaining her loyalty to science. By the end of the book, she starts to understand the importance of spirituality and how science is connected to it.

This book is ideal for those who want to understand women better. As a woman myself, reading this book has brought a lot of insight into my own life. I had a lot of moments where I would read something and then go "Ohh, that's why I act like this", or "That's why I do this". I have changed little habits and things in my life because I am aware of how my body and brain work in certain situations. If you like this book there is also a male version, called "The Male Brain".

You can probably tell from the title of this book that it is about the psychology behind the worst of humanity. The author divides "evil" people into 22 different levels, 1 being the least evil and 22 being worst humans to ever exist. If you are interested in learning about psychopathy, sadism, and other dark aspects of human behavior, this book is for you. However, be warned: some of the crimes described in this book contain graphic depictions, making unsuitable for children or sensitive readers. At its conclusion, the book offers an interesting take that even some of the most cruel and evil people in the world, they still have a glimmer of humanity and love in them, and deep down they are fundamentally human like the rest of us.
