What Makes Your Brain Happy and Why You Should Do the Opposite comes from a science writer who considers the difference between what a brain wants versus what it needs. Much of what makes the brain 'happy' is actually counter-productive and leads to errors and distortions. This study includes evolutionary and social psychology, neurology and even business and includes interviews with neuroscientists as it provides insights to identify the brain's problems and how to overcome them. The focus on actionable methods for leading better lives makes this a powerful presentation suitable for psychology, self-help and business collections alike. Link to Midwest Book Review page
