Leschziner's exploration of obesity explains that Alex's gluttony is driven by a genetic disorder rather than moral failures, challenging the stigma attached to weight gain.
Through compelling case studies, Leschziner illustrates that neurological disorders significantly influence behaviors traditionally categorized as the seven deadly sins, including wrath and gluttony.
The author's method of intertwining personal stories with complex neuroscientific concepts makes the book not only enlightening but also highly engaging for readers fascinated by human behavior.
In discussing wrath, he illustrates how epilepsy can lead to uncontrollable anger, linking it back to brain structures responsible for emotional regulation and response.
