It's safe to assume any grand claims linking specific behavior and the brain are bullshit. Humans don't have the technology yet to make the necessary observations.

F-MRIs are not going to give you enough data to cleanly determine cause and effect. I'm sure there is lots of good data for researchers, but I don't think it's going to be easily package-able into these kind of pop psychology books.
