Sapolsky is the reason I'm a bio major. I read "Zebras" in prison and went around trying to explain everything I took from it to everyone I could haha. First month out, started college, aced bio, and already a TA. Thanks Professor.

Netflix doesn't even have anything as binge-worthy as this guy's videos.
-
I love how he gives these mini summaries throughout the lecture and it's literally so precise and holistic, like reinforcing information into your brain, What a genius lecturer

I can’t believe that the university put one of its most popular professor’s lectures on youtube for free. How great is that? I was so excited when i saw who was teaching this.

Robert Sapolsky truly lives up to the title of Professor.

This series is fascinating. I left school at 16, bad grades , got a job and now doing well in sales. HOWEVER , human psychology and behavior always amazed me and in another life or alternate reality or maybe if I had just made better decisions in life I would have studied this so hard. I feel very lucky to be alive in a day and age where I can watch this level of mentorship on YouTube for free. Thank you sir.

I hope he is still teaching, and I hope he gets paid a LOT of money. He's the best lecturer I've even able to imagine. Reminds me of Feynmann.

who else aspires to be as well spoken, intelligent and funny as this man?

This is the entire purpose of the internet. Thanks so much!

My 14 y/o self is here during summer break watching a Stanford class and taking notes… my parents are looking at me like I’m crazy and so are a whole bunch of my friends. Thank you, this is what the internet should be used for!

These lectures make me so nostalgic of the feeling of my undergrad years. Thinking of continuing my education.

I am an exceptionally old senior citizen and did not go to college and have always wondered what it would be like to attend college. Now I can say I took a class at Stanford, I found this class extremely interesting. Like the saying goes it's never to late to learn. This is one of more valuable lessons on UTube.

This is the man you climb the mountain to meet

Randomly found these lectures in a YouTube rabbit hole and I couldn't be happier. I'm so grateful to be able to listen to Stanford lectures for free. I wish I had professors like this man in college.
-
I’m not even taking this class but I listen to his lectures every night on my way home from work. I love the way he talks and explains things.
-
Just a comment to honor the man who wrote an hour and a half lecture subtitles. This man is a true hero

I'm a simple old woman, a farmer from Qazakhstan. I study English. And I'm captivated by videos of this professor. Because of them, I better understand English and biology. Thanks so much for such videos!!!!

"Yea, he's a coward. But he makes really good milkshakes, so we keep him around."

Right now, I am procrastinating working on my Master's thesis by watching these lectures. Maybe I will just study again.
