This paragraph jumped out at me as well. While neuroscience might refer to knowledge useful for figuring out the content of our goals, it’s not at all clear in what way it can inform us. The simple “achieving your goals—that is, satisfying your desires” doesn’t help, and is outright wrong in the context where “desires” refers to the technical sense from neuroscience.
