Description
For those in pursuit of a better life, psychiatrist Marian Rojas Estape presents the essential guide to neuroscience-driven mindfulness. Understanding your brain, managing your emotions and being aware of your responses to stressors can give you greater self-control. Rather than a gimmicky guidebook, this is a thorough look at how our brains react to stress, threats, hyperstimulation and the vices of our digital age.
With proven techniques backed by solid, up-to-date psychiatric research, Estape teaches us how to make the best of our lives. Combining science, psychology and philosophy, Estape delivers practical advice about how we can cultivate a happy existence. This includes understanding the parts of the brain, setting healthy goals and objectives, strengthening willpower, cultivating emotional intelligence, developing assertiveness, avoiding excessive self-criticism and self-demand, and mastering the proven art of optimism.
