Last week, my trade book The Consuming Instinct: What Juicy Burgers, Ferraris, Pornography, and Gift Giving Reveal About Human Nature was released. I am delighted to report that the early buzz has been very encouraging. Here are some early reviews/interviews:

Psychology Today

National Post (interview)

Library Journal

Dr. Doug Kenrick (on his PT blog)

Find a Therapist

Search for a mental health professional near you.

Kirkus Book Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Lanigan and Malone radio show

I was recently commissioned by the Wall Street Journal to write an article on my book. Also, see my earlier post in which I announced my TED talk titled The Consuming Instinct.

Readers of all ages as well as non-human readers have gotten their respective copies!
