Publishers Description: Why do we talk as if were rational, but act as if were not Why do some people always want to take control What is the true role of religion Why do we seek change, yet resist it Why do we want more of the things that have failed to satisfy us Why are we so passionate about sport Why do we fall out of love As Australias leading social researcher, Hugh Mackay has spent a lifetime of listening to people talk about their dreams, their fears, their hopes, their disappointments and their passions. In a series of bestselling books, he has documented the impact of the changes that have been radically reshaping our society. Now, he reflects on some of the things that dont change and identifies ten desires that drive us all. Insightful and engaging, WHAT MAKES US TICK reveals Mackays formidable skills as a chronicler and interpreter of our motivations. In his exploration of why we do the things we do, he goes to the heart of some of lifes big questions.
