9.99 €
In this book, Swedish psychiatrist Anders Hansen explains in a clear and fascinating way how the brain cares about our survival and why it makes us feel negative emotions. You'll learn why you shouldn't chase happiness and see that in a world full of stress, you can feel calm and harmonious - no matter what.
We all get moody, anxious, fearful or even depressed from time to time for no apparent reason. And we gnaw at ourselves for it. We wonder why things are bad when everything seems to be fine. "Bad is normal. The brain is not designed for endless pleasure", - assures the Swedish psychiatrist Anders Hansen, a supporter of the biological approach to emotions. In an accessible way, he explains how our minds work and explains that anxiety and a tendency to perceive reality negatively are natural, a remnant of the time immemorial when people risked death from predators, hunger and infections. At the same time, he offers hope by explaining that we can feel good about ourselves - to do so, we need to take proper care of our brains, our bodies, and perhaps stop chasing happiness. You will learn how to understand your nervous system, listen to your body's signals and improve your emotional well-being.
