Now available: Consciousness (mainly interesting because of sleep) and Learning (entirely interesting). This is good stuff, folks. Very good stuff. Extremely good stuff, even.

Don’t let the learning chapter go by - read that .pdf like your life depends on it. You’ll be a better parent, you’ll be a better person, you’ll be more productive and you’ll be better in bed. Maybe.

Then there’s this gem:

The problem with delayed punishment also explains the ineffectiveness of punishing a pet hours after it has misbehaved, when the owner finally returns home. For instance, it won’t do any good to hit your dog with a newspaper while shoving its face in the feces it previously left on your carpet. This common punishment doesn’t teach your dog to stop defecating on your carpet - it teaches the dog to keep its face out of its feces.

Did I mention reading this would make you a better parent?
