The pyramid of adaptation

As you possibly know, I have some mental problems. In particular, some of my emotions were gone. I must observe other people a lot to copy their behavior and integrate myself into society. I did that for years and I got a system of human behavior in my head. I thought that it's time to make a book about it and the book has been printed. It's called "The Pyramid of Adaptation" ("Пирамида адаптации" in Russian). The PDF version will be distributed for free for non-commercial purposes.

UPD: The pyramid was full of unanswered questions, bringing attention to visible patterns but not explaining underlying mechanisms. Yet there was something in it. After a few years of research, the core model from the pyramid finally got its theoretical foundation and became a central part of the evolutionary theory of behavior.
