Synopsis "Why Zebras Don't get Ulcers, Third Edition "

Renowned primatologist Robert Sapolsky offers a completely revised and updated edition of his most popular work, with over 225,000 copies in print Now in a third edition, Robert M. Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress. As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear-and the ones that plague us now-are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer. When we worry or experience stress, our body turns on the same physiological responses that an animal's does, but we do not resolve conflict in the same way-through fighting or fleeing. Over time, this activation of a stress response makes us literally sick. Combining cutting-edge research with a healthy dose of good humor and practical advice, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers explains how prolonged stress causes or intensifies a range of physical and mental afflictions, including depression, ulcers, colitis, heart disease, and more. It also provides essential guidance to controlling our stress responses. This new edition promises to be the most comprehensive and engaging one yet.

Robert M. Sapolsky (n. 1957, Estados Unidos) es un neurocientífico, primatólogo y profesor universitario reconocido por sus investigaciones sobre el estrés, el comportamiento humano y la biología de la agresión. Es profesor de biología, neurología y neurocirugía en la Stanford University, donde ha desarrollado gran parte de su carrera académica.

Desde joven mostró interés por la primatología y viajó a África para estudiar el comportamiento de los babuinos salvajes en Kenia, investigación que mantuvo durante más de dos décadas. Estos estudios le permitieron analizar cómo el estrés y la jerarquía social afectan la salud física y mental, tanto en primates como en humanos.

Entre sus obras más influyentes se encuentran Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, donde explica de forma accesible la biología del estrés, y Behave, un amplio análisis interdisciplinario sobre las bases biológicas del comportamiento humano. En Determined, explora el debate sobre el libre albedrío desde la neurociencia.

Sapolsky es valorado por su capacidad para combinar rigor científico con divulgación clara y amena, acercando conceptos complejos al público general.
