A fascinating guide to navigating life, love and our relationships. How do we understand the people around us? How do we decipher their behaviour, motivations and facial expressions? And how can we find our place in society? Diagnosed with autism at the age of eight, Camilla Pang found it very difficult to understand the world around her and why people behaved the way they did. Desperate to find a solution, she realised she needed an instruction manual for relating to other human beings -- and decided to create one of her own. Now, armed with a PhD in biochemistry and her own personal experience, Camilla Pang explores our everyday relationships, decisions, conflicts, interactions and ways of behaving, showing us what it really means to be human through the language she knows best: science. How to Be Human is an intelligent, original and optimistic exploration of human nature that, thanks to its unique perspective, offers us the keys to understanding ourselves. In short, a fascinating guide to a better, happier life.
