"A funny, rhyming book about all of the cool things your brain does"--

"Throughout history, people have sought the heights of human potential--to become as wise and strong, happy and loving, as any person can ever be. And now recent science is revealing how these remarkable ways of being are based on equally remarkable changes in our own nervous system, making them more attainable than ever before... Rick Henson, PhD, not only explores the new neuroscience of awakening but also offers a bold yet plausible plan for reverse-engineering...

"All parents worry about their kids. But for some parents, worry and anxiety about their children can be constant and overwhelming. In Overcoming Parental Anxiety, three anxiety specialists team up to offer parents essential skills for "rewiring" their anxious brain using the core principles of neuroscience and practices from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Using the targeted exercises...

"The Emory University sociologist who coined the term languishing-low-grade mental weariness that affects our self-esteem, relationships, and motivation-explores the rise of this phenomenon and presents a comprehensive guide to flourishing in a world that demands too much. If you're muddling through the day in a fog, often forgetting why you walked into a room . . . If you feel emotionally flattened, lacking the energy to socialize or feel joy in...

"Your drive to create change, have impact, and solve problems all comes from the energy-the real electrical impulses-firing in your brain. On good days, this energy rises in you. It makes you feel empowered and dynamic. And on bad days, this same energy hurts. It leaves you depleted and defeated. Who you become-how dynamic and powerful you are as a person and a leader-depends on learning to work with this energy. You may feel as if you don't control...

"Being you is an unprecedented tour of consciousness thanks to new experimental evidence, much of which comes from Seth's own lab. His radical argument is that we do not perceive the world as it objectively is, but rather that we are prediction machines, constantly inventing our world and correcting our mistakes by the microsecond, and that we can now observe the biological mechanisms in the brain that accomplish this process of consciousness."--Provided...

En El Cerebro En Duelo, la neurocientífica y psicóloga Mary-Frances O'Connor, PhD, nos ofrece una nueva y fascinante ventana a una de las experiencias distintivas del ser humano. O'Connor ha dedicado décadas a investigar los efectos del duelo en el cerebro y, en este libro, hace accesible la neurociencia de vanguardia a través de su contagioso entusiasmo y nos guía a través de cómo codificamos el amor y el duelo. Con amor, nuestras neuronas...

"The human brain evolved to prioritize short-term rewards over long-term needs. But while this behavioral architecture served our ancestors well, it is maladaptive in the face of a slow-moving climate crisis. Luckily, brains can change. Dr. Ann-Christine Duhaime shows how we can retrain our neurons to value behaviors that counteract climate change"--
