“… I enjoy observing the behaviours of others and understanding the ‘why’ behind them/what makes people tick. I also enjoyed the explanation of the biological responses to stress and how they are manifested in a person’s demeanour and/or behaviour… I loved it, it was worth getting up at 2am each day!”
