Unfuck Your Brain, by Faith G. Harper, PhD
The Wall Street Journal Bestseller that helps us feel better every day
with neuroscience and humor.Our brains are doing our best to help us
out, but they can be real assholes sometimes. Sometimes it seems like
your own brain is out to get you—melting down in the middle of the
grocery store, picking fights with your date, getting you addicted to
something, or shutting down completely at the worst possible moments.
You already told your brain firmly that it isn't good to do these
things. But your brain has a mind of its own. That's where this book
comes in.
With humor, patience, and lots of swearing, Dr. Faith shows
you the science behind what's going on in your skull and talks you
through the process of retraining your brain to respond appropriately to
the non-emergencies of everyday life. If you're working to deal with
old traumas, depression, anxiety, anger, grief, or addiction, or if you
just want to have a more measured and chill response to situations you
face all the time, this book can help you put the pieces of the puzzle
together and get your life and brain back.
