Would you be interested in a book that combines neurobiology, psychology, hormones, stress, emotions, and how the brain interprets reality?
This isn't your typical "self-help" or spiritual story about positive thinking. It's more of an attempt to show what's really going on inside a person from the perspective of biology and brain mechanisms. It covers, among other things: - how chronic stress changes the functioning of the nervous system - why emotions influence decisions more than logic - how hormones and neurotransmitters influence relationships, motivation, and perception of the world - why people often don't understand their own reactions - how the environment, overstimulation, lack of sleep, and tension affect the psyche and body - how the brain filters reality and creates our "sense of truth." It also touches on consciousness, states of mind, intuition, and how much a human is a biological system that responds to stimuli, often without even realizing it. Perhaps the most interesting thing is that the more research I do, the more I see that many of the things people call "character," "energy," or "attraction" have real biological mechanisms in the brain. I notice every reaction I have. Is anyone here reading something like this?
