How a Murderer's Brain Works
The human brain is an extraordinary organ that controls every thought, emotion, and action. Yet in some individuals, it can also give rise to extreme violence and criminal behavior. Scientists and psychologists have long been fascinated by what drives a person to commit murder—one of the most severe acts imaginable. Research into the brain of murderers reveals that violent tendencies often stem from a complex mix of biological abnormalities, psychological disorders, and environmental influences. Understanding how a murderer’s brain works not only helps explain criminal behavior but also opens the door to prevention and rehabilitation.

Hero
I’ve never thought of myself as a hero, and why would I. The few times I’ve managed to help someone out of a jam wasn’t me being heroic, rather it was me being a good neighbor. I never rushed into a burning building to rescue a neighbor’s cat, or dove into raging surf to save someone from drowning. No, usually most of my heroic deeds have consisted of giving a stranded motorist a ride to the gas station so he or she could fill up a five gallon can of gas, or deliver a package to my neighbor because an Amazon driver dropped it off at my door by mistake.
