Why we are going to be like our parents, and why that’s ok

Seth Godin is far from the first person to refer to the amyglydia as the "lizard brain". I really couldn't tell you who coined that term or when, but I was seeing it when I was reading about the brain as a kid back in the seventies.<p>Also I am in my early 40s and am not even beginning to turn into my parents, for what that's worth.

I believe that the brain changes between the age of 15 and 30, and I also believe that most people's lives changes between those ages. I'm not so convinced that the former cause the latter, especially without any kind of scientific evidence. There are a lot of things that change socially over that time period.<p>The author's take on the amygdala is also pretty weird. Sleep, hunger, and sex are all functions generally associated with the hypothalamus, not the amygdala.
